Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees / 190 c
  2. Stuff ½ of one lemon into the chicken's cavity with 5-8 garlic cloves.
  3. Generously salt and pepper chicken.
  4. Add to dutch oven and throw in rest of lemon and garlic.
  5. Sprinkle chicken with oregano.
  6. If you like extra crispy chicken skin, add a pat or two of butter to the top.
  7. Add lid and cook 1½ hours, checking temp every 20 minutes after an hour. You want the temp to get to 160, and then remove the lidded dutch oven, as it will keep cooking to reach the safe internal temperature of 165 degrees for a chicken.
  8. Let dutch oven sit for 10 minutes after removing from oven to allow for carryover cooking, and so the juices have a chance to rest.
  9. Remove from pan, and carve!
Recipe Notes

Tips to Perfect Whole Roasted Greek Chicken

The only real work here is stuffing some lemons and garlic into the chicken and seasoning the bird up.

After that, just toss it in the pan and cook for about an hour and a half- and you’re done!

The chicken also gives off a delicious cooking liquid that is very gravy like, and very lemony.

The garlic also turns a delicious golden brown and has an incredible caramel flavor. I like to add a little of this to cous cous for an insanely delicious flavor!

I prefer using a chicken under 3 1/2 pounds – I feel they provide more flavor in this recipe. Look for free range organic chicken if possible.

While butter doesn’t seem like the proper Greek way (hello, olive oil!), every family I’ve eaten this dish wish from Greece uses butter for the flavor. I realize this is very Americanized, and you can use either – but the butter gives a lovely richness to the chicken skin that I just don’t quite get with olive oil. Go ahead and use oil if you prefer it though!

Cindy’s Small Pot Roast

 Cindy's Small Pot Roast
I wanted to make pot roast, but there are only two of us, and all of the recipes I found online called for 2 1/2 - 5 pound roasts. That's a lot for two people! So I made this version, much more suitable for 2 people, without a lot of leftovers. Enjoy!

Instructions
  1. Remove roast from refrigerator about an hour before cooking - long enough for the roast to be about room temperature.
  2. Preheat oven to 325F.
  3. Heart oil in dutch oven to medium/medium-high heat. Pat roast dry and sprinkle salt and pepper on all sides, patting to help seasonings stick. Brown slightly on all sides - since it's a small roast and near room temperature, it won't take long on each side or you will start cooking it, maybe 45 seconds each side. Make sure to get every surface of the roast!
  4. Add sage and thyme to hot bouillon and mix well.
  5. Remove roast from dutch oven and drain excess fat. Place roast back in dutch oven and add hot bouillon, thyme, and sage. Make sure lid is on properly so that it hols all of the liquid and steam, and place in oven.
  6. Cook for 1 1/2 hours, then remove and add vegetables. Be sure to spread everything around so that it's totally cover with the liquid.
  7. Return to over and cook another 1 1/2 hours, or until roast is so tender it falls apart when you try to fork it.
  8. Move roast and vegetables from dutch oven to platter, and cover well to keep warm. Place dutch over with cooking liquid on burner on medium/medium-high heat. Add 2 Tbsp flour to liquid and whisk together. Let simmer until liquid is reduce to about 1/3 and gravy is thickened, whisking frequently.

  3. Cook the egg noodles until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream and cottage cheese. Add plenty of freshly ground black pepper and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Add to the noodles and stir. Add the green onions and stir.

Instructions
  1. Bring mirin, low sodium soy sauce, honey and crushed garlic to a boil in a medium-sized sauce pan, and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  2. Cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces and place in a Ziplock bag; pour half of the marinade over the chicken. Place the zucchini in a second large Ziplock bag and pour the remaining marinade over the zucchini. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Meanwhile, soak the skewers in water 30 minutes so they don’t burn.
  3. Thread the chicken onto skewers, alternating with green onion so that each stick has 3 cubes of chicken and two pieced of green onion, discarding the chicken marinade.
  4. Thread the zucchini onto skewers, alternating with remaining green onion, reserving the marinade for basting.
  5. Preheat the grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. When hot, spray with oil then reduced heat to medium; grill the zucchini and chicken skewers about 5 to 6 minutes on each side brushing both sides of the skewers with the yakitori sauce during the last few minutes of cooking time..
  6. Makes 14 chicken skewers, 4 zucchini skewers.
Recipe Notes

*Note: It’s really hard to be accurate with the sodium here since most of it is tossed, I calculated it with 2 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tbsp mirin, but it would actually be less.

Instructions
  1. Heat a large paella pan (or large saute pan) over medium heat. Add the olive oil. When oil is hot, add the onion and saute for 5 minutes, until onion is softened and turning golden. Add the garlic and saute for 30 seconds.
  2. Add the tomato paste and continue to cook until it is completely mixed in and the onions are rust colored, 2- 3 minutes.
  3. Add the salt, paprika, chili flakes, turmeric and saffron, stir to incorporate.
  4. Add the rice and stir fry until the rice is completely coated with the oil and spices.
  5. Stir in the stock. Bring to a simmer.
  6. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
  7. Add in the sliced chorizo and cook for about 5 more minutes.
  8. Arrange the shrimp on top. You may need to press the shrimp into the rice with a spoon so that they are almost covered with the remaining liquid. Cook for 5-10 more minutes or until liquid is evaporated.
  9. Sprinkle parsley on top and serve.
Recipe Notes

*If you cannot find bomba rice you can use arborio. Be sure to follow package instructions for the amount of liquid, defer to package instructions if they are different than what is listed here. *If you cannot find Spanish chorizo you can use andouille sausage or Kielbasa. Be sure you get the kind that is ready to eat and not one that is raw. *I always use kosher salt. If you do not have kosher salt and are using regular table salt, reduce salt to ½ teaspoon and adjust for taste. *The bottom of the paella can burn, be sure to reduce heat to low and watch carefully to avoid burning.
