Simple Spinach, Savory Chicken and Shared Ingredients 🍃 #DashOutSunday

This Sunday was all about sharing and simplicity. We had exactly 2 drumsticks left in the freezer and about 8 potatoes. Half already went bad, so that's leaves four potatoes. I also received a bag of spinach from my mom on Thursday and thought that would all go well together.


Sometimes you just want to throw a bunch of things in a pan and or boiling water and just let it be, without complicated steps, order or having to watch stuff. So that's exactly what we did. I also got some lemons from a friend on Friday, so those had to be incorporated somehow.

Dash Out!


Co-Chef @tanjakolader was on potatoes and rice. This is because I don't eat rice each day like most rice-zombies here. The potatoes are just boiled in a bit of salty water until soft and voila! And if you don't know how to boil potatoes or cook rice, you need to evaluate your life choices, or consult uncle Roger.

I seasoned the two drumsticks with some salt, lemon-pepper seasoning, cayenne pepper powder and dried oregano and then browned it in a pan with a mixture of butter and olive oil. After the chicken was browned I added garlic. And of course the lemon had to be used, so I sliced one up and threw that in there as well. Some sugar to balance out the sour and that was done. This was the most cooking for the day and everything else was super simple.

The spinach was then simply steamed with butter, garlic and salt, which enables it to retain it's own delicious flavor.

Yes! Balanced in color and in nutrition.
Sometimes you gotta eat balanced and sometimes you just gotta eat a big juicy steak and not worry about anything.
A lovely day/night right back at ya!

Hello @rarej
Your food looks very very good.
I have never eaten spinach that way, it has always been in salad or with eggs, but not like this. Lemon with the chicken, it should give it a special acidic touch... great. I'm going to prepare it.
Good week for you.

When the spinach grows uncontrollably in large amounts, you can cook it like this. This type is called Malabar Spinach and grows like a wild vine.

When you put fresh lemon with chicken, be sure to use some sugar, as much as needed, to balance out the acidity.

Good point. It can make a difference. Thank you

In general I use a touch of sugar in almost everything.

Make the best of the what’s around yes! I’m still trying to escape the rice trap, it’s hard asf here as rice is usually breskfsst lunch and dinner here. End making my own breakfast espérante from the fam.

Lol, I think Japanese genes somehow digests rice completely without converting any to fat. The rest of us are not so lucky.
Rice for breakfast is crazy though. Well, unless you're talking about sushi.

Nothing wrong with skipping rice, but there's gotta be potoates or a roti or something starchy. Bless up you two chefs!!
