Quick and easy ideas to improve your meals and make it easy.
Baked chicken ?
Prepare a dressing sauce and approximately every 10 minutes paint the skin of the chicken with a brush while it is baking.
I give two options but could be great if you try different ones (Just mix all ingredients at your taste):
- Butter, honey and sweet paprika. (Best recommendation: Spanish Pimentón de la Vera)
- Lemon, honey and sweet paprika. (Best recommendation: Spanish Pimentón de la Vera)
Another very nice option is stuff the chicken, between the meat and the skin, with butter. This butter can be flavored with any herb of your choice.
(This is not actually the lightest option but it is delicious).
Flavored Oil ??
A scented or flavored oil adds a special touch to any meal.
You can use any herb that you like, dill, basil, garlic, etc.
Try it and you will notice the difference.
Here is an example of what I use.
Easy Spinach Sauce:?
- Boil spinach 1 minute.
- In a blender put the spinach, chicken or vegetable broth, butter and cream. Season and process everything until the desired texture is achieved.
- Use a thickener if necessary
- Voila!
Asparagus puree. Very easy and fast.?
- Boil the asparagus in vegetable broth with a few cardamom seeds until they are soft enough.
- Drain to remove excess water
- Add butter and half a clove of garlic.
- Blend everything until you achieve the desired texture.
- It is better to blend them for several minutes with a very fast blender since the asparagus has many threads
- Voila!
Leave the limes out of the fridge.
Leaving the limes out of the fridge will allow them to extract more juice than if they were very cold.
Eggs cooking time.
Soft Cheesecake Base
Why spreadable butter? Because being spreadable it is softer. That way you can keep the cake very cold and it will be much easier to cut and eat the base.
