Merry Christmas Friends! ☃️

Welcome back to another ingredient prep video! This one is Mediterranean-inspired with simple and wholesome ingredients 💚

Tzatziki:
– 1 1/2 cup full fat yogurt
– 3 cloves garlic
– juice from 1/2 lemon
– pinch of salt
– 1/2 large cucumber or 3/4 cup, grated
– fresh pepper, pinch
– 2 tbsp fresh dill
– 1 tbsp olive oil

Lemon Greek Potatoes:
– 3 lbs yellow potatoes
– 1/3 cup olive oil
– 1/4 cup lemon juice
– 1/2 cup veggie stock or chicken stock
– 2 tsp salt
– 1/2 tsp pepper
– 1 tbsp dried oregano
– 2 tsp dried parsley
– 7 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 F (185 C).
2.. Cut potatoes into half inch wedges.
3. Place potatoes in a baking dish with all other ingredients, toss to coat.
4. Remove the potatoes from the oven part way to stir.
5. Bake for 45 minutes or until golden brown.

Hummus:
– 2 cans chickpeas (3 cups)
– juice from two lemons
– 1 garlic clove, chopped
– 3 tbsp tahini
– 1 tbsp olive oil
– 1/2 tsp salt
– 1/4 cup ice water
– 1 tsp paprika
– 1/2 – 1 tbsp olive oil for the top (sub for chilli oil if you’re feeling spicy)

Instructions:
1. Optional but I recommend removing the skins from the chickpeas. It makes for a smoother textured hummus.
2. Add chickpeas, lemon juice, garlic, tahini, olive oil and salt in blender
Slowly add in the ice water while blending.

– 1 tbsp olive oil

– 1/2 tsp garlic powder

– 1 tbsp light brown sugar

Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line baking tray with parchment paper.
2. Coat the chicken with the spices and sugar.
3. Bake the chicken for 30 minutes but I would recommend using a meat thermometer to make sure the meat is fully cooked. It should read 165°F.
