Chicken with pan made fries

This dish is one of my favourites. The dish is very easy to digest because of the mustard sauce as it stimulates production of digestive enzymes, but most important, the dish is also very tasty. This is a dish with many aspects: juicy seasoned chicken with crispy skin accompanied with perfectly salted crispy fries which is then harmonized with a mild meaty mustard sauce.

Ingredients (for two):

- 1 carrot
- 4 potatoes

- 2 chicken legs

Seasoning

- black pepper
- cayenne
- paprika powder
- tamari soy sauce
- honey

- 1 tsp white pepper
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg

Fresh salat

- 2 handful spinach/greens
- 1dl corn
- 1/2 paprika

Method:

Chicken: Thaw chicken legs if frozen, rub it in with a mix of the seasoning ingredients, put it in a pan with foil ontop, and bake for 35min at 180c deg. Take of foil and turn up heat to 220c deg with fan turned on.

Sauce: fry onion for 5min, mix in coconut milk and the rest of the ingredients. Let simmer for 20min.

Tangy aromatic soup

This is a mildly pungent soup with meaty stock flavour and vegetable flavors. On the more aromatic level, this tangy soup is beautifully accompanied by aromas of roses and saffron. This soup can be good in times of flu and cold as it from a TCM perspective gently nourishes and warms the body (moves Qi) trough the warm spices (LRA, 2011), and the stock builds blood (Zhang, 2016). From a Western medical perspective, stock/broth is very much composed of amino acids which has a central role in blood formation.

From a chakra perspective, the rosewater benefits the heart chakra physically (Ayurvedicyogi, 2013) with resulting psychological and spiritual nourishment.

Ingredients:

-2dl chicken stock
-0.5dl coconut milk
-2dl water
- 1 carrot

- 1/2 tsp dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp hot curry powder
- 1 tsp rose water
- 1/3 tsp saffron
- 1 tbsp vegetable buljong

Serve with egg & bread of choice.


Method:

Chop vegetables, boil up all and let simmer for 15 min.
