Therefore, this is all new to me at the age of 39, I figured that writing is not that bad, although I really tried to avoid it since my first days at school.
I am siting at my home in Tel Aviv trying to figure out my way in this world as a photographer and journalist trying to find a way to make a living without leaving my passion and becoming a banker or an office clerk, not that it is not a worthy job but for me. It was always photography, since I was 15 and got my first Nikon F from my father, I had an Instamatic before that but dose it really counts?
Any how today Shira my daughter was over with her friend Elah and I served the chicken and vegetables I made, which is easy to make and really comes out delicious so let me share this recipe with you , so..... To start, we will need some chicken any will do but the wilder and fresher the better believe me, there is a different in the taste so from one chicken up so it will cover the oven pan yes we need to cut it or to buy the parts we like but most important is to cover the oven pan with chicken.
Then after I make sure that the chicken covers the pan, I take out the chicken and fill the pan with root vegetables carrots leak garlic unpeeled zucchini Onion ,Kohlrabi basically all that you can imagine that would work well and will enjoy a long cocking period. I would not add peppers, since I think their taste is too dominant.
After slicing all the veggies, I spice them with some olive oil salt Oregano Nutmeg Paprika and whatever else smells and tastes well, after spicing the chicken in the same way I put them on top of the veggies and in to the oven in high temperature but not grill and not placing the oven pan to close to theater after some time I turn the chicken around and put it back in then in lower temp, I let it cook more, don't ask me how long I never timed it only looked at it to get a feeling where this dish was going. Then after some more time I turn the bird again and this time grill it to get it crisp .
Once this part is all done I take the dish out place the chicken and veggies in separate dishes, then I make the potatoes, since there was no room in the first session I did them separately after boiling them until they are seamy soft in water, I take them out slice the potatoes in to cubes and place them in the same oven pan with all the juices of the chicken and vegetables I spice them with Rosmarin from my plant salt nutmeg ginger and on top I add some slices of butter and just a small amount of olive oil mix it all together and in to the oven they go again for an unknown period in high temp until they come out crisp very crisp.
I must say that the two girls really liked it which is a remarkable thing since you know how children are.
Try it at home let me know if it worked :)
