Braised Short Ribs-Featured Recipe

This weeks featured recipe from Cooking Lounge-Sue Duffy

Braised Short Ribs
First time making these. Quite pleased with myself lol , they are amazing
I did double the garlic and used 3/4 of a bottle of Cabernet as I only had 4 short ribs that were about 1.75 pounds. This recipe asked for more but I love extra sauce anyway. The last simmer of the sauce I added a dollop of tomato paste ~
Added steamed carrots and sautéed mushrooms in the last hour for extra flavor ~
Made an artisan bread with it to sop up the juices

One Pan Greek Style Chicken-Featured Recipe

Our Weekly Featured Recipe from Cooking Lounge-Linda Steabben

Recipe 👇👇👇
I’ll list the recipe as I found it but personally I find this needs to cooked at a slightly lower temperature. I also don’t peel the potatoes as like the textures and I tend to add additional seasoning onto the chicken (paprika, oregano or whatever I feel like on the day). I never bother cutting slits into the chicken pieces and I don’t measure but just toss in whatever quantity I know we’ll eat of everything. It’s a super simple ‘lazy person’ meal but very tasty. I usually steam some green beans to go with it as I like something green with my meals but tonight I was extra lazy.

INGREDIENTS:-
· 1 ½ kg chicken pieces
· 500g potatoes, peeled and coarsely chopped

Tandoori Chicken-Featured Recipe

Recipe👇
Hi from India, This is my first post.

For us Indians, Tandoori Chicken is a love and hate relationship story. Many of us love tandoori chicken but preparing it at home has always been a hassle until I found this recipe with lil tweaks of my own. It has been a hit and miss a lot of times for me with Grilled chicken but this time I hit the nail on spot with the taste and method. I was extremely happy with the result. Try this at home. Takes less efforts than on OTG/BBQ Grill.

For Chicken Marination:

Take leg/thigh pieces of chicken in a bowl and cut deep slits on them. Add 1/4 tbspoon of turmeric, 1 tbspoon of chilli powder, Salt as per taste and rub properly on the chicken.The spices should be rubbed properly into slits as well and then keep it aside or in the refrigerator...
