Start your morning with a touch of wellness with this revitalizing ginger shot, the perfect way to start your day fresh. A morning ginger shot with lemon, turmeric and pepper on an empty stomach offers a potent blend of immune support, anti-inflammatory action, digestive aid, detoxification, metabolic stimulation and natural energy, promoting overall wellbeing.

Serve the shot chilled and experience the tangy fusion of fresh ginger, bright turmeric, a hint of hot pepper and tangy lemon juice. This drink is a powerhouse for your immune system. To enjoy the benefits of this drink, you should drink it on an empty stomach.

Either pour the juice into a large glass bottle and portion out the appropriate amount each day in a small glass or pour the juice directly into small glass bottles in portions. Store the bottles in the fridge. I prepare the juice a week in advance. For one person, that’s 350ml a week. Make the ritual of this ginger elixir your own and greet every morning with a sip of health and happiness.

This culinary masterpiece promises a taste journey that’s as bold and exciting as it is delicious.

To store the Chicken Shawarma Plate, refrigerate any leftovers promptly. Keep the spiced chicken, tomato-cucumber salad, mint-garlic dip, and other components in separate airtight containers.

Description

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • small bowl
  • medium bowl
  • frying pan

Ingredients

Units Scale
CHICKEN
  • 400 grams chicken breast or boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric
  • 1/4 tsp curry
  • 1/8 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp pepper
SALAD
  • 200 grams tomatoes
  • 150 grams cucumber
  • 80 grams red onion
  • 1 tbsp parsley
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp pepper
DIP
  • 200 grams yogurt
  • 12 leaves fresh mint
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp pepper

Instructions

  1. Start by preparing the chicken marinade, since it needs resting time. Cut the chicken into small pieces if using breast, or leave boneless thighs whole. In a bowl, mix 1 tbsp olive oil with 1 tbsp lemon juice. Remove the skin from 3 garlic cloves, press them into the bowl, and add 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp smoked paprika powder, ¼ tsp turmeric, ¼ tsp curry powder, ⅛ tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp salt, and ⅛ tsp black pepper. Stir well, then add the chicken and mix until every piece is coated. Cover the bowl and place it in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
  2. While the chicken marinates, move on to the salad and dip. Cut the tomatoes, cucumber, and onion into small pieces. Pluck the parsley leaves, chop them finely, and set everything aside. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper, but don’t combine the salad yet; that comes right before serving.
  3. Next, prepare the yogurt dip. Peel 1 garlic clove and chop or press it. Stack a few mint leaves, roll them up, slice into fine rings, and chop finely. In another small bowl, add the yogurt, garlic, mint, ¼ tsp salt, and ⅛ tsp black pepper. Stir until creamy, then refrigerate the dip while finishing the chicken.
  4. When the chicken has marinated long enough, heat a large frying pan over medium heat. There’s no need to add extra oil — the marinade already has enough. (Optional: Thread the chicken onto soaked wooden or metal skewers.) Place the chicken in the hot pan and let it cook without moving it, until it turns white around the edges and golden underneath. Then flip and cook for the same amount of time on the other side, until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. While the chicken cooks, quickly finish the salad. Add the chopped tomato, cucumber, onion, and parsley to the olive oil–lemon dressing and toss everything together. Once the chicken is ready, arrange it on plates, add the salad on the side, and either spoon the mint garlic yogurt dip over the top or serve it separately.

Description

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • medium sized bowl
  • frying pan

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 400 grams chicken breast or boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 tsbp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric
  • 1/4 tsp curry
  • 1/8 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp pepper

Instructions

  1. Mix 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp lemon juice in a bowl.
  2. Squeeze the garlic cloves into the bowl with the olive oil and lemon juice. Now add 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp smoked paprika powder, 1/4 tsp turmeric, 1/4 tsp curry powder, 1/8 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper and mix well.
  3. Add the chicken to the marinade and mix well so that all the chicken is coated with the marinade.
  4. Now place the bowl in the fridge. If you want it to be super quick, leave it to marinate for at least 30 minutes. For a longer preparation time, you can leave it in the fridge for up to 4 hours.
  5. After the marinating time, heat a large frying pan over a medium heat. The chicken can now be placed on wooden or metal skewers before frying, but this is not a must. Tip: If you want to use wooden skewers, place them in a bowl of water 1 hour before use so that they can soak up the water and won’t burn during frying.
  6. Either place the chicken on skewers in the pan or fry them individually. To ensure the right juiciness in chicken meat so that it does not become dry, turn it only once during frying. When you place the raw chicken in the pan, let it cook on this side over a medium heat until it turns white around the edges, which is the sign that the bottom half is cooked through. Then you can turn it over. Then fry for the same amount of time on the other side.
