I often use butternut squash because it is just easy to prepare. You can peel it with a peeler. This is no effort at all.
Be careful with the sage if you do not know whether you like the taste or not. In this case I would say: Less is more.
Pan-Roasted Chicken with Tomatoes, Olives and Capers
Quickly cooked, tastefully and good-looking. I like to cook this dish for guests as it does not keep me in the kitchen too long.
Braised Chicken with Veggies
Usually I prepare more than I need for dinner when I decide for this dish. Why? Because of the intense taste on the very next day!
Chicken Wings – Easily Done
I prefer the easy way to prepare chicken wings. I love them all year long! The lime juice I use generously. I do like the combination with dried rosemary.
Braised Chicken and Brussels Sprouts
Once more: brussels sprouts. I prefer this dish very much in the cold season of the year.
Instead of the shallot I add leek sometimes. Turkey steaks are a good option to the chicken breasts, too.
White Chili
Who would have thought that… even chili is part of my breakfast. I do not refuse it at lunch either. I really like lupini beans for this dish because they do not soften.
Okra with Cherry Tomatoes and Cashews
Okra… a produce that I didn’t care about for a long time. I knew that they can be really slimy. This was nothing I was interested in. Then I spotted them in Istanbul… and I thought they should be worth a try. Well, I cooked a lot of okra in diverse ways. Mostly not successfully. So I – as well as my husband as he does not like okra anyway – was not so happy more than once. Eventually there was a winner. So I like to cook this recipe from time to time.
