HOW TO COOK RACK OF LAMB:

In a food processor, add in your olive oil, rosemary, thyme and lemons zest, pulse until finely chopped.

Salt and Pepper rack of lamb on both sides before covering in marinade and setting aside for 1 hour at room temperature on a baking sheet.

When ready, set oven to 450 and cook lamb for 15 minutes before rotating the baking sheet and continuing to cook for 10 minutes to ensure it cooks evenly and to medium rare. If you have a meat thermometer, for medium rare lamb the internal temperature should be at 130-140 degrees.

When meat is ready, remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before chopping it up into individual portions. This will allow the juice to redistribute.

Plate and serve.

Enjoy!

PIRI PIRI CHICKEN WITH ROASTED VEGGIES - A PORTUGESE CHICKEN RECIPE

If you’re looking for something healthy and easy to make for dinner tonight that will transport you to the beautiful country of Portugal, may I suggest trying this easy Piri Piri chicken with roasted veggies? Best marinated a day in advance, this Portuguese chicken recipe doesn’t take long to make and always comes out super juicy. I love how the vegetable roast alongside the Piri Piri chicken in the excess fat to perfection until their exterior is crunchy and their insides are soft. Since Piri Piri sauce can be a little spicy and very juicy make sure to pair the chicken and veggies with a simple side like a helping of rice for a well-rounded authentic Portuguese chicken dinner.

DIRECTIONS:

The first thing to do is marinate the chicken, preferably for a minimum of 4 hours or better yet overnight. In order to do so you must create the glaze.

Heat up the olive oil for your chicken glaze in a sauce pan and add in pressed garlic. Once they become fragrant (about 2 minutes) add in your Piri Piri spice mix, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt and pepper. Stir and set aside to cool.

Wash and dry your chicken before coating it with the glaze. Make sure to coat both sides of the chicken well before covering with plastic wrap and storing in the fridge. Alternatively, you can also do this in a zip lock bag if you can find one big enough.

When you are ready to start cooking, preheat oven to 375F on convection roast (if you don’t have the setting, roast or bake is fine) and remove your chicken from the fridge. Place chicken and all the glaze in the middle of a sheet or roasting pan.

Next, toss your potatoes in olive oil, Piri Piri mix, and salt and pepper until evenly coated. Place potatoes in the sheet pan surrounding the chicken along with roughly chopped carrots and shallots. Garnish with lemon slices before roasting in the oven for 45-55 minutes on the middle rack or until tender.

If you have a meat thermometer the minimum for chicken is 165. You can use it to check if the chicken is done or you can check manually by cutting into it to see if it’s pink inside. If the chicken is done and the potatoes are not, feel free to take the chicken out of the sheet pan and cover it with aluminum foil to keep warm before placing the veggies back in the oven until they become tender.

When potatoes are ready, add chicken back in and serve!

Enjoy!

CAULIFLOWER HASH BROWN EGG BITES

Always on the look out for a keto friendly recipe, these cauliflower hash brown egg bites are the perfect addition to your weekly breakfast line up. If you are looking for something to batch make that is not only low carb but also gluten free, you have to try this recipe. Not only are they delicious but you can add a variety of toppings to them like smoke salmon and chives or ham and tomato. Plus, they are packed full of protein so you can feel good about starting your day off on the right foot. Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS:

Makes 9 Cups

500 Grams of Frozen Riced Cauliflower - defrosted
1 Large Egg - whisked
1/2 CUP of Cheddar Cheese
1/2 Cup of Parmesan
1 TSP of Salt
1/2 TSP of Garlic Powder
Pepper to Taste
9 Eggs

Additional Toppings - Optional
Chili Pepper Flakes
Green Onion
Chives

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 350 and butter your muffin tray really well! If you don’t it will be hard to remove the cauliflower cups later.

In a large bowl, microwave your cauliflower for 8 minutes. Remove and let rest of 5 minutes before putting it a cheesecloth or tea towel to squeeze out as much liquid as possible. There is a lot of excess water in cauliflower so you will need to squeeze it really hard!

Next, in a large bowl, add in your whisked egg, cauliflower, cheddar cheese, parmesan, salt, and garlic powder and mix well using your hands.

Take your cauliflower mixture and press it into your muffin tray to form your ‘cups’.

When ready, place muffin tray in the oven and bake for 15-20 until the cups are golden and edges are brown.

Remove from oven, add in one egg to each cup, sprinkle salt and pepper to taste on top before placing back into the oven for another 10-15 minutes or until whites are set.

When done, remove from oven and allow egg bites to sit for 5 minutes before taking a knife and sliding it around the edge of each muffin mold to help remove the egg bites from the tray.

Add your desired garnishes and serve.

Enjoy!
