Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • ½ cup malt vinegar

  • ¼ cup plain yogurt

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • salt and pepper to taste

  • 1 teaspoon mixed spice

  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground cardamom

  • 8 skinless, boneless chicken thighs

  • ½ cup tahini

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

  • salt and pepper to taste

  • 4 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced

  • ½ cup sliced onion

Directions

  1. In a glass baking dish, mix together the malt vinegar, 1/4 cup yogurt, vegetable oil, mixed spice, cardamom, salt and pepper. Place the chicken thighs into the mixture and turn to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.

  3. Cover the chicken and bake in the marinade for 30 minutes, turning once. Uncover, and cook for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until chicken is browned and cooked through. Remove from the dish, and cut into slices.

Tuscan Salmon

This Tuscan salmon takes you on a trip to central Italy, with this Tuscan-inspired main dish. Lots of flavors you love make a bed for some lovely pan-roasted salmon. Everything can be done in one skillet, and if you'd like a side of pasta, clean up will still be a breeze. We like this with risotto, a salad, and a good crusty bread, too!
