lazy kitchen recipes

there are days when you feel so lazy you dont wanna lift a finger. but even though you feel like a sloth in human form, you still need to eat. so here are some quick fixes i whipped up in my humble kitchen. Please note that I do not actually measure when I cook. I just put them all together by whim. It's actually a great way to cook, and everyone can do it!!!



LEMON ROSEMARY CHICKY

Ingredients:
4 chicken breasts, pounded flat
olive oil, 4 tablespoons
lemon or calamansi juice, 4 tablespoons
dried rosemary
salt and pepper to taste

How To:
Pound the chickies flat. place them in a shallow container and drizzle the olive oil and lemon juice on top. sprinkle the rosemary to coat the chicken, then sprinkle salt and pepper to taste. leave in the fridge for about 4 hours or so overnight is best). grill the chicken for a wonderful, aromatic, and yes... healthy chicken meal!
Toss them together with some greens (like the string beans sauteeed with sausage as seen on the pic. It's a simple and tasty meal!



SALTY WHITE FISH AND GRILLED EGGPLANT ENSALADA

Salty Fish Ingredients:
white fish, deboned and filleted
salt
vegetable oil (somehow, fish doesnt taste good fried in olive oil. to me at least)

Ensalada Ingredients:
2 eggplants, cut crosswise into flat rectangular strips
2 salted eggs (if you dont have any, hard-boiled eggs will do)
3 tomatoes cut into wedges
olive oil (1 tablespoon)
salt
Dressing:
balsamic vinegar (2 tablespoons)
olive oil (1 tablespoon)

How To:
Lightly salt the fish, then fry in oil. place on paper towel to drain excess oil and set aside. Rub eggplant strips with olive oil and salt, then grill. While grilling, toss the other ingredients in a bowl with the balsamic vinegar and olive oil dressing. When the eggplants are done, toss them with the rest of the salad. This dish is wonderful with rice.
