Cuisine: Mediterranean
A Well Seasoned Recipe - Visit us in store on 64th Avenue, in Langley, BC
Ingredients
  • For the Chicken Marinade:
  • 5 chicken thighs, skin on, bone in
  • 2 lemons zested + 4 tbsp. lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp. dried oregano
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ tsp salt
  • For the Rice:
  • 1½ tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 1 cup basmati rice
  • 2 ¼ cups chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp. dried oregano
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • Freshly cracked black pepper
  • Finely chopped parsley for garnish
  • More fresh lemon zest for garnish
  • ¼ cup crumbled Feta cheese for garnish
Instructions
  1. Combine the Chicken and Marinade ingredients in a ziplock bag and refrigerate overnight.
  2. Preheat oven to 350F.
  3. Remove chicken from marinade, but reserve the Marinade. Heat ½ tbsp. olive oil in a deep, heavy skillet over medium high heat. Place the chicken in the skillet, skin side down, and cook until golden brown, then turn and cook the other side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside. Pour off fat and wipe the pan clean. Return it to the stove and heat 1 tbsp. olive oil again over medium high heat. Add the onion and sauté for a few minutes until translucent. Then add the remaining ingredients and reserved Marinade.
  4. Let the liquid come to a simmer and then add the chicken. Cover with a tight fitting lid and transfer to the oven for about 35 minutes. Remove the lid and bake for another 10 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving, garnish with parsley, feta cheese and fresh lemon zest, if desired.

Baked Pumpkin Risotto

This recipe is oven baked, making it perfect for a weeknight so you can get other things done while it is baking. #TastyTuesday

Baked Pumpkin Risotto

Recipe Type: Main Course
Cuisine: Italian

A Well Seasoned Recipe - Visit us in store on 64th Avenue, in Langley, BC

Ingredients
  • 1½ cups Arborio rice
  • 1 large shallot, diced
  • 1 ½ lb. pumpkin, diced into ½ " cubes (about 4 heaping cups)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • ¼ cup dry white wine
  • 3½ cups chicken stock
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • 2 tbsp. butter
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt & cracked black pepper
  • Grated Parmesan & Finely chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. Heat olive oil in ovenproof pot over medium high heat. Add garlic and shallot and cook until translucent. Add rice and stir so all the rice grains are coated with the olive oil. Add white wine and cook until the liquid evaporates - about 1 minute. Add pumpkin and stock, and bring to boil. Put lid on (or cover tightly with foil) and place in oven for 25 to 35 minutes.
  3. Check it at 20 minutes. The risotto is ready to come out of the oven when the rice is cooked - ideally, the rice should be a bit al dente and still very wet like porridge, not dry like a pilaf. Remove the pot from the oven & return to the stove top over medium heat. Add butter and Parmesan cheese. Add more if you want - the more you add, the creamier the risotto will be. Gently stir the risotto so that the pumpkin turns into a puree and blends into the risotto. If it's too thick then add a splash of boiled water. Season with salt and pepper to taste & serve, garnished with parsley and extra Parmesan.
