  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

Pair this with...

Curried Couscous with Peas

Start by heating a bit of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Stir in some finely diced onions, and once they're translucent, sprinkle in your desired amount of curry powder, allowing the spice to toast and release its aromatic depth. Add in a cup of couscous, ensuring the grains get a good coating of the curry-infused oil. Pour in the recommended amount of boiling water or vegetable broth, giving everything a gentle mix. Scatter in a handful of fresh or frozen peas, adding a burst of color and sweetness. Cover the pan and let the couscous simmer and absorb the liquid. Once done, fluff it with a fork to separate the grains and evenly distribute the peas. A final touch of chopped fresh cilantro or parsley can add an extra layer of flavor.

Roasted Rosemary Chickpeas

Starting with a can of chickpeas, drain and rinse them, then pat dry to ensure maximum crispiness during roasting. Toss them in a bowl with a good glug of olive oil, freshly chopped rosemary, salt, and maybe a touch of garlic powder for an extra depth of flavor. Spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they're not overcrowded. Pop them into a preheated oven at around 400°F (205°C) and roast for 20-30 minutes, giving them a good shake halfway through. You're looking for a deep golden hue and a nice crunch when bitten. Let them cool slightly, and then they're ready to be devoured!

Mango Lassi

This traditional Indian drink marries the sweetness of mangoes with the tang of yogurt. To whip one up, you'll need a ripe mango. Peel, pit, and chop it, tossing the juicy chunks into a blender. Add about a cup of plain yogurt (Greek yogurt works well for extra creaminess). For that hint of sweetness and depth, pour in a tablespoon or two of honey or sugar. Some folks like adding a pinch of ground cardamom for that extra aromatic kick. Blend everything until smooth. If the mixture feels too thick, you can thin it with a splash of milk or water. Pour your lassi into a glass, and if you're feeling fancy, garnish with a little sprinkle of ground pistachios or a mint leaf.
