Lemon Ginger Chicken

HOW TO MAKE THIS YUMMINESS?!

1.   Preheat your oven on 180 degrees.

2.   Season your drumsticks with pepper, salt and chicken herbs. Colour them in the baking pan with some butter. 

3.   Meanwhile, peel and shred the shallot and the garlic into tiny pieces. I prefer a garlic press. Cut the mushrooms into four                    pieces.  I cut the zucchini also into four pieces (like little pizza slices) of approximately 5mm thick.  Obviously you'll have to wash        your veggies as well. (before or after you've cut them) ... :-)

4.  Take the drumsticks out of the pan and put them aside. Bake (in the same pan) the pieces shallot and garlic. Then add the                  mushrooms. Last, the zucchini pieces.  

5.   Crumble the piece of chicken broth above the vegetables. Put the flour into the pan as well and let it dry a bit while stirring.                Stifle with the milk and let it thicken for a bit. Add the cook dairy and stir. 

6.   Grate the lemon (lemon zest), I must admit that I don't know the quantity anymore. But as I really love lemon zest, I believe it            will be 2-3 spoons ... I'll try to write this down more specific in my next recipes. Promise! Cut the rest of the lemon into slices.

7.   Add the lemon zest to the pan. Sprinkle some ginger powder through the vegetables as well, again I'll be more specific about            the quantity in the future.. For now, I suggest you use the amount of ginger powder as you prefer and taste while adding. :-)

      Little note, not everybody is into ginger so you can also leave it out of the recipe. 

      Spice your vegetables and sauce with pepper, salt and some more chicken herbs. I've also added some chili powder to make it a        bit spicy.

8.   Grease an oven dish with some butter. Put the drumsticks into the oven dish and pour the vegetables and the sauce on top of           it. 

9.   Cut the ginger piece into thin slices, you can also cut them into small cubes, it's what you prefer. Or again, leave them out if you        don't like the taste of ginger. 

10. Divide the slices lemon and ginger and sprinkle it above the finished recipe.

11. Put the dish in the oven for about 40-45 minutes. Check if the drumsticks are ready before you eat them, cause nobody wants           to be sick of course ;-)

IDEAS TO COMBINE THIS WITH:

- Grilled 'Sucrine Salad'  (see on the photo).

  Cut the bottom of the salad and slice the little salad into two. Heat some olive oil into a grill pan. Bake the inside of the salad              pointed downwards. Add pepper and salt. (Za'atar herbs are also a good combo with this salad.) Don't overgrill the salad, it still          needs to be crunchy and mainly cold. 

- Ginger 'candy' tomato salad.

  Take little orange, yellow and red tomatoes, slice into halves. Slice a pieces of ginger into very tiny pieces. Mix the half tomatoes        with some olive oil, pepper, salt and the little ginger cubes.
