Teriyaki Style Roasted Chicken


Hannah whipped this up recently with a marinade we had only used for grilling and barbecues, but I think roasting these chicken marylands in the formidable marinade of garlic, ginger, chilli, soy, honey, sesame oil and lemon juice was brought it to new heights! Served up with steamed choy sum and oyster sauce, on a bed of healthy brown rice. Good hearty healthy meal.

One-Pot Baked Snapper with Pine Nuts, Zucchini and Potatos

This is a great one pot dish that takes about 15 minutes to prepare and then you just let it do its thing.

I prepped the veggies first, thinly sliced potatoes and zucchini. I laid a bed of these on a roasting tin, row of taters, then zucchini, then again. Topped this with dill and diced tomato, salt and pepper and a good lug of extra virgin.

I scored the snapper on both sides, then rubbed it with a marinade of chopped parsley, garlic , anchovy and a splash of white wine. I then stuffed the cavity with the leftover marinade and placed it on a baking rack from the roasting dish. I placed the rack on top of the veg, then crumbled pine nuts on top of the fish, 4 dried chillies and seasoning. I then baked it at 180 for bout an hour.

The result was creamy delicious veggies with a tasty roasted snapper. Great winter meal!
