Moroccan Chicken Salad with Chickpeas and Apricots

Recipe adapted from Annie's Eats.

Ingredients


Chicken Breast Cooked Chickpeas Onion Dried Apricots Lettuce/ Iceberg Almonds Lemon Juice Honey	1-2 1 cup 1 (sliced thinly) ½ cup (coarsely chopped) As needed (torn into 1 inch pieces) ¼ cup (toasted and roughly chopped) 4-5 lemons ½ tsp

Coriander Seeds	½ tsp (ground)
Paprika	¼ tsp

Salt Black Pepper	¼ tsp ¼ tsp
Extra Virgin Olive Oil	½ cup
Parsley/ Coriander	2 tbsp (minced)

Method

Thinly slice the chicken breast into even slices and liberally sprinkle with salt and pepper on both sides. In a grill or frying pan, add 1 tbsp of the olive oil, wait till it's shimmering and then add the chicken. Don't flip immediately, let it brown from one side and then turn over to the other. The chicken should release enough of its own juices to cook through but if it looks dry, add a little water and let it cook until done. Once cooked, set aside to cool.

In a microwaveable cup, mix 1 tbsp of olive oil with the ground coriander and paprika. Microwave for 30 seconds then add the lemon juice, honey, salt and pepper. Whisking continuously, add the remaining olive oil.

Now chop the almonds and add them to a dry frying pan (no oil). Put the flame on medium and keep shaking the pan till you see the almonds starting to turn golden. Be very careful because once they change color, they burn very easily. If they take on a light golden brown tint, remove the pan from the flame and let the almonds cool.

In a serving bowl, mix lettuce, onion, parsley, half of the chickpeas and dried apricot. Drizzle half of the dressing over it and toss well. Add the chicken on top, with the remaining chickpeas, apricots, dressing and the toasted almonds.

Mango Chaat

I hate fruits. Yes, even mangoes. I mean... I'll eat mangoes, or lychee or pomegranate but only if force fed. Pls don't throw those eggs at me, it's not my fault. I was born like this. I think I'm missing an important piece in my brain/nervous system so pls. Stop with the judgy. That random HOW-DARE-YOU-EVEN-EXIST-YOU-HEATHEN tidbit aside, everyone else I know is insaaaaaane about mangoes. Thought I'd try this on poor innocent guests and the family loved it too. If you're a fruit person (of course you are), try it! ( Original recipe I took from @spicespoon's Instagram , adjusted it a little bit here). Ingredients 1 cup Mango (diced) 2 cups Chickpeas (boiled and cooled) 2 tbsp Tomato (finely diced) ½ Onion (finely diced) 6 Mint Leaves (julienned) Mint Leaves (for garnish) Dressing 4 lemons Lemon Juice 1 tsp Brown Sugar ½ tsp Salt ½ tsp Red Chilli Powder ¼ tsp Red Chilli Flakes Method: Combine all ingredients under 'dressing&#

Meat Lasagna with Red & White Sauce.

I've always been irritated with the lasagna recipes I find online. They use 10,000 kinds of cheese that I either don't like or can't buy here in Pakistan. And even if they were available, why would I spend thousands of rupees on something that won't even last one night? Okay, I know you foodies are probably having a heart attack while reading this but come on. You HAVE to be practical when you're cooking at home. So, I decided to try the local stuff. I mean, why the hell not? Only so much could go wrong. But oh. My. GOD . This turned out so well. This recipe is amazing. Seriously, if you're a meat lover like me who likes her pasta drowning in sauce, HAVE THIS. It's... just try it. I promise you, you'll love it. Ingredients Meat Sauce Minced/ Ground Meat ½ kg Garlic 4 cloves Onion 1 (finely chopped) Salt ¼ tsp B. Pepper ¼ tsp
