Actual Tuesday Menu - BBQ Chicken, Crisp Roasted Potatoes with Celeriac, Broccoli
Did the dinner help empty the pantry or freezer? YES! The BBQ chicken was simple. I just marinated chicken breast I had frozen in a bottle of BBQ sauce we had in the pantry and grilled them on the George Foreman Grill. The Broccoli was also in the freezer. My favorite way to prepare frozen broccoli is to heat 1 – 2 T of olive oil in a skillet and then add the broccoli. Stir to coat with oil and sprinkle with kosher salt. Cover and let steam to warm through. Remove the lid and when the broccoli starts to get golden brown sprinkle with sesame oil. Once I remove the kids broccoli I generously add crushed red pepper. The Crisp Roasted Potatoes with Celeriac used up some potatoes I had in storage and I still had some Celeriac from my CSA. This is a favorite of mine, the recipe follows.
