Chicken Zorba

Chicken Zorba

This Chicken Zorba recipe is my nephew’s favorite dinner. It’s a recipe from a Sainsbury’s card from the early ’90s. I have to say, I understand why it’s his favorite dinner. The chicken is so tender (due to marinating it overnight) and flavorful. Also, the hummus and Greek yogurt mixture is heaven!

Zucchini Ribbons with Herbs & Parmesan Cheese

Zucchini Ribbons with Herbs & Parmesan Cheese is beautiful and delicious. If you want to impress your guests, try cutting your vegetables in a new and different way. I think it's so important to make your meal appealing to the eye. This zucchini was a huge hit at our dinner table.

Hasselback Potatoes UnPlugged

I love Hasselback Potatoes! Hasselback potatoes cut in such a way as to resemble a fan or accordion when roasted. The name is derived from the restaurant where they were first introduced in the 1940s, Hasselbacken in Stockholm, Sweden which opened in that city in 1748 and where they are called hasselbackspotatis. The outside of the potato becomes crisp and brown while the inside is soft and creamy. This version is sort of cheating because you cut the potatoes all the way through.

Green Apple Almond & Manchego Salad

Try this Green Apple Almond & Manchego Salad. It's a very light, crisp and refreshing salad as a perfect accompaniment to your dinner. The tart and sweet apple, nutty manchego and savory vinaigrette are a winning combination.
