Only a few hours will transform ordinary chicken into a tasty feast. Two hours! That’s enough time to reorganize all the kitchen drawers, wash the floors, sort unpaid bills in order of emergency, and have a cup of tea on the deck of your tight ship! During that time the thought of the chicken also working by actively marinating gave you wings…

 

INGREDIENTS  serves 2 to 4 

  • 6 chicken thighs
  • 1 cup (250ml) plain yogurt
  • 6 tbs (75ml) Le Grand’s Tapenade mild or spicy
  • 5 garlic cloves (crushed) I use organic garlic, in this case I can see, feel and taste the difference…
  • The juice of one lemon
  • 4 tbs (60 ml) fresh, chopped coriander
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped 
  • Sea salt
  • PREPARATION
  • In a bowl rub the chicken with lemon juice
  • In a bowl mix the Tapenade and the yogourt, set aside to top the chicken before serving
  • Marinate for 2 h or more
  • Heat up the BBQ at medium heat
  • Cook to your liking, but don’t let it burn and scorch, slow cooking is preferable
  • When you are done “flipping” your chicken, brush it with lemon juice and sprinkle a pinch of sea salt
  • Spread the rest of the sauce on the chicken, let it cook a little longer
  • Add the coriander and green onion
  • Let it sit and have another sip…

A perfect day to take my first steps in English… Quite intimidating! We could have had all this translated but something of great value would have been lost, -money-! No really, my English is fine for this purpose. I was told that I was an English libertarian, the ultimate freedom!

Who am I ? My name is Bernard Le Grand. Along with a wonderful team, we create and manufacture natural, fresh, raw and vibrant sauces to simplify your daily life.
The idea behind this blog is to answer the question: what do to do with our products besides the obvious pasta and pesto?
I am not a chef, I love to eat in restaurants but not every night because rich food is fantastic for the palate, but does little for your energy level…
I cook everyday simple food for my little family, Tatiana is president of our company (and organizeraholic!) where she does a terrific job, but when it comes to food… Well, you can’t be good at everything!

So I make simple and quick recipes using my sauces, I find it relaxing…
Ok, not always, sometimes I am late, everybody is hungry and cranky so I just throw it together in a few minutes.
We sit down, we eat, we become normal again! Haaa… the power of food…
