Goldies

So, I promised Petra asparagus, but we only ate asparagus soup, which I got from an amazing cook, I still have soooo much to learn from :)

So today its GOLDIES... (supposedly) golden oven baked potatoes and a nice chicken with courgette, tomato and apple... and lot's of spices :)

I took the idea of the golden potatoes from the book of Vale-Novak company (Ljubezen skozi želodec) and it goes something like this: heat the oven to 200°C, chop 3 medium sized potatoes (for two, but you can take more or less, depending on how hungry you are) and slice them into thin circles only a few millimeters thick. Melt about 15g of butter and spill it over the potatoes and stir well so that all potatoes are well covered with butter. Place baking paper on the tray and spread potatoes. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, but if you leave them inside for 30, no harm done.

While potatoes are baking, chop about 200g of chicken breast into small cubes, do the same with one tomato, half courgette, and half an apple (use a very ripe apple, I used Jonagold). Add some oil to the pan and put in chicken breast pieces. Wait til they are all completely white. Now here are spices... if you don't have all of these, it's ok, I just have to try them and mix them (sometimes it doesn't turn out quite as expected, but, if you don't try you don't know). I used some nutmeg and cinnamon (for the apple), some sweet red pepper, cumin, saffron (Maestro has them all ;)) and salt. Then you just stir all this and put in all the chopped vegetables and wait, so all the juices come out. Lower the temperature to 5 (from 9, is what I have) and just about every five minutes. And in about 15 minutes you're done. :D
