Floyd Cardoz's Flavorwallla boasts recipes with big flavour and bold spices. This is one example of how this offer can be satisfied with little effort. Seven ingredients. Surprisingly flavourful. I've included a simple baked basmati recipe that works every time. Add steamed green beans or a green salad, and dinner is ready.
Grilled Lime-Pepper Chicken
6-8 boned chicken thighs
6 tbsp canola oil
5 tbsp lime juice (approximately 4 juiced limes)
12 garlic cloves, chopped
1 4-inch piece ginger, peeled and chopped
2 tbsp black peppercorns
Combine all ingredients except chicken in a blender or bullet and blend until smooth and creamy. Pour into a ziplock bag with chicken and marinade for 6-24 hours. Bring chicken to room temperature then grill until browned.
Simplest Basmati
1 c basmati rice
oil
1 3/4 c water
1/2 tsp salt
Preheat oven to 350. Saute rice in oil until some grains are translucent. Add water and salt. Bring to a boil, cover, and bake for 17 minutes. Fluff with fork before serving. Can add in toasted pine nuts and/or herbs or other extras prior to serving. Perfect every time.
