Cumin. Yes, that spice you threw in with your fajitas and tacos. I have been branching out with this guy and have a few new recipes to share. I love both of these recipes because they involve ingredients that you usually have just lying around.
Chicken Shwarma
ingredients:
2 chicken breast
curry powder
cumin
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
salt
pepper
greek yogurt
hummus
cucumber
tomato
red onion
Directions:
Cube two Chicken breasts and place in marinade for 1 hour up to overnight. Place Chicken in pan with a bit of Olive Oil and cook through-- 10 minutes?
While the chicken is cooking, slice up (finely) some cucumber, tomato and red onion (about 1/3 cup total of everything--equal parts of each) and place in greek yogurt (you can usually find the brand FAGE in most grocery stores now). Season with salt and pepper.
Slice up some romaine if you like as well.
When the chicken is done cooking, wipe out the pan and heat up your pitas (about 30 seconds each side).
Then take the pita and slather it with either homemade or store bought hummus. Put some chicken on there, dollops of your greek yogurt sauce, some lettuce and voila!
Marinade:
Extra Virgin Olive Oil (just don't overdue it--just cover the chicken)
1 tbs. Curry powder
1 tsp. Cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
Citrusy Mojo de Ajo Marinade --try with Tilapia!
Marinate for about an hour (not much longer because the acids in the marinade start to cook the fish) and fry up in a pan over medium-high heat, just till the pieces start to flake apart, 2-3 minutes per side depending on the thickness of the fish.
Marinade:
1/2 cup orange juice
2 lemons
1/2 lime
40 grinds of pepper (or 1/8 tsp.)
2 garlic cloves (minced finely)
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp. cumin
1/8 tsp ground cloves
1/8 tsp cinnamon
