SUMAC AND LEMON MARINADE FOR CHICKEN

SUMAC AND LEMON MARINADE FOR CHICKEN
4 teaspoons sumac
3 garlic cloves crushed or grated
1 onion finely chopped
Juice of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon coarsely ground salt
2 teaspoons olive oil

Slice a lemon into thin slices and lay on bottom of an oven tray or dish. Put chicken pieces on top of the lemon and spread the sumac and lemon marinade over the pieces.
Bake open in preheated oven at 180°C for an hour or until the chicken is done.
Serve with carbs of choice.

I served with a chilli and coriander couscous and spiced sour cream.
1 cup fresh cream
Enough lemon juice to enable the cream to go sour and slightly thickened
½ teaspoon turmeric
¼ teaspoon cumin
¼ teaspoon coriander
sprinkle of cayenne pepper
good pinch of smoked dried chilli

Stir everything together in a small jug and keep in fridge until the chicken is ready to serve.

Nota:  Mense ek wil net sê maak genoeg vir oorskiet! Ek het nou die hoender in stukkies gesny en op die koeskoes warm gemaak en daai spesery suurroom sousie oorgooi en dis nog geuriger as gisteraand! Sommer die pan sous van gisteraand oor die koeskoes gegooi ook.
