VariationsAdd more veggies: Feel free to add about 1 more cup of chopped veggies to the chili such as sweet potatoes, carrots, or mushroom chunks. If kept at around 1 cup, this addition will not change the amount of spices or liquid needed. Make it gluten-free: Omit the bulgur and top the chili with cooked quinoa or brown rice instead of bulgur. Note: I have not tried cooking the quinoa or brown rice in the chili which would significantly impact the cooking time and liquid amounts. A No...| www.sandravalvassori.com

Adjust the oven rack to the second position inches from the top (about 6-8 inches from the flame) and preheat the broiler on high. Spread the cherry tomatoes, onion and garlic on a small sheet pan and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Place the sheet pan in the oven and broil until the vegetables achieve a subtle char, about 7-9 minutes. Every broiler is slightly different, so keep an eye on them and turn the baking sheet as needed. Remove from oven and set aside to cool slightly.| www.sandravalvassori.com

This succulent spatchcocked chicken with a zesty cilantro and lime marinade, grilled or roasted, delivers the bright fresh flavours of summer.| Sandra Valvassori
Recipe adapted from Jenny Rosenstratch, via Bon Appetit.TIPS:Don't overcrowd the pan: The chicken pieces need plenty of space to get crispy and brown evenly all around.Bring the chicken to room temperature before cooking: In fact, this applies to any meat. Room temperature meat will cook through in the centre a lot more evenly, and faster, than if cooked cold from the fridge.Remove excess chicken fat and skin: Most skin-on chicken thighs come with a lot of excessive fat and skin. You don't ha...| www.sandravalvassori.com

Note #1: There is a bit of chopping involved but once that is out of the way, the rest comes together easily and quickly. To speed things up, you can give the veggies (including the garlic) a rough chop, then pulse a few times in a food processor until finely chopped.Note #2: I prefer to use French green lentils which take the same amount of time to cook as brown rice. If you use brown lentils, or regular green lentils, add the rice first, cook for about 10 minutes, then add the lentils. If ...| www.sandravalvassori.com
