Quinoa

Super Saturday salmon sandwiches

Posted by Gary

Today I ended up have salmon sandwiches for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Who would have thought I’d ever do that?

I basically repeated breakfast and lunch but changed the carbohydrate from a quinoa pane di casa to a poppy seed bagel. For dinner I had the last quinoa pane di casa and cooked some salmon. All three salmon sandwiches were essentially the same with minor variations. 

Tomorrow is Sunday. Will there be salmon on Sunday?

This was a nice light breakfast and it had quinoa

I went and bought some dill especially today after breakfast because salmon needs dill.

The big difference for dinner was adding the potato gems. I love potato gems.

 

This afternoon I went for a walk around Lake Ginninderra and shot some photographs.

Delicious roasted Chicken Maryland recipe

Tonight I had Roasted Chicken Maryland for #dinner Gary Lum Yummy Lummy

Delicious roasted chicken Maryland pieces

Delicious Chicken Maryland is my favourite piece of roasted chicken for a meal. It contains the juicy tender dark meat of the thigh and the fun of meat on a stick in the drumstick. If you’re extra lucky you get the cloaca too for an extra special treat.

[maxbutton id=”3″ url=”#recipe” ][maxbutton id=”4″ url=”#FAQ” ]

Chicken Maryland also tastes good with vegemite.

Another delicious roasted Chicken Maryland recipe

  • 1 pieces Chicken Maryland
  • 1 Potato
  • 1/2 Sweet potato
  • 1/2 Capsicum
  • 1 Jalapeño pepper
  • 1/2 cup Grated cheese
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 1/4 can Diced spam
  • 1 tablespoon Black peppercorns
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 cup Quinoa
  • 1/2 cup Rice
  1. Place about ⅓ cup of quinoa and rice into the bottom of the roasting tray
  2. Add ⅔ cup of water to the roasting tray
  3. Place a rack in the roasting tray and add the Chicken Maryland which has been rubbed with olive oil, salt and dried mixed herbs
  4. Place the chicken into an oven at 150 °C for 1 hour (use a meat thermometer to ensure food safety)
  5. Cut the potato, sweet potato and capsicum into wedges or batons
  6. Dice some classic SPAM®
  7. Finely dice some jalapeño pepper
  8. Put the jalapeño pepper, potato, sweet potato, capsicum and SPAM® into a large bowl and mix with some olive oil, grated cheese, cracked black peppercorns, and a dash of Worcestershire sauce
  9. Lay out the vegetables onto some baking paper on an oven tray
  10. Place the vegetables into the oven on another shelf with the chicken and cook for 1 hour
  11. Pull the chicken out of the oven and make sure the meat thermometer has achieved the correct cooking temperature to kill most vegetative bacteria (this is 75 °C according to chicken.org.au)
  12. Allow the chicken to rest for about 20 to 30 minutes (resting is really important, it helps ensure a succulent flesh)
  13. Scoop out the quinoa and rice from the baking tray and place half in a bowl in the refrigerator for lunch the next day with some salad leaves.
  14. Keep the rest of the quinoa and rice warm to serve with the chicken and vegetables
  15. Hopefully you’ve timed the cooking of the vegetables to coincide with the end of the resting period of the chicken
  16. When the chicken is rested plate up the vegetables onto a plate, then place the rice and quinoa next to the vegetables. Finally add the chicken.
  17. If you are French you probably made a sauce and lots of it to enjoy with the chicken, me, I’m an Australian. We don’t need sauce.
  18. Shoot a photograph
  19. Inhale the meal
  20. Wash the dishes
  21. Write the recipe
  22. Blog (verb)

Frequently asked questions

What’s your favourite cut of chicken?

Regular readers know I love the cloaca roasted nice and crispy, but failing that, my favourite meat is the dark thigh meat. Having a drumstick on it to make a Chicken Maryland is okay too but it’s really the thigh meat. I also like chicken wings, roasted in a hot oven.

Besides oven roasting how else do you like cooking chicken?

When making chicken curry, I like using a slow cooker and making a nice full bodied curried chicken.

Skin off or skin on?

Is that a serious question? I love chicken skin. One of my favourite things is deep fried chicken skin as a snap with dip. I seriously like fried chicken and crispy chicken skin. One of my favourite Chinese dishes is a boiled chicken that has had boiling fat poured on it to crisp up the skin. It’s amazing.

Why does everything taste like chicken?

Well, it doesn’t really. Beef tastes like beef, lamb like lamb and pork like pork. I’ve eaten crocodile and it didn’t taste like chicken.
