Instructions
DUKKAH CRUSTED CHICKEN:
- Mix all marinade ingredients together and coat chicken with marinade.
- Roll chicken in Dukkah.
- I use Gorge Forman Grill (about 6 min on each side) to cook the chicken, but you can also use pan or bake it in the oven.
MASHED CAULIFLOWER:
- Cook cauliflower for about 10-15 min or until soft (test it this fork). Then done drain the water out.
- Add the rest of ingredients to cauliflower and mash as you usually would potatoes. I prefer to use potato masher, but you can also use food processor.
OVEN ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH OLIVE OIL AND LENON JUICE:
- Preheat an oven to 4oo degrees F
- Arrange asparagus onto a baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle with the olive oil and lemon juice. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Bake in the preheated oven until just tender, for about 10 minutes depending on thickness.
