Spicy Peruvian Roasted Chicken

• 1 whole chicken
• 3 pounds of yellow potatoes
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup vinegar
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon chile powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon garlic salt
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce

Bulgogi

3 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 carrot, julienned
1 green onion, chopped
1/2 yellow onion, chopped


1. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, sesame seeds, garlic, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Place beef, carrots, and onions in the bag; seal, and shake to coat the vegetables and beef with the sauce. Refrigerate for at least 2 1/2 hours. I prefer to marinate mine overnight.
2. Preheat a grill for to heat. I use an indoor grill that works well, but I suspect you could also do this outside on a charcoal grill. Discard marinade.
3. Place on grill, and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or to desired doneness.

Fava Bean Salad

1 can fava beans, drained and rinsed
2 tomatoes, chopped
1 diced
1 cucumber, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 lemon, juiced
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
salt and black pepper to taste

This salad doesn't sound so impressive, but it's very good. Especially if you have a chance to let it marinate overnight. The fava beans have a very meaty and substantial flavour to them.

Black Eyed Pea and Kale Soup

olive oil
1 large onion, diced
carrots, sliced
cloves garlic
1 sprig(s) fresh thyme
1/4 teaspoon(s) crushed red pepper, or to taste
1 bullion cube
28 ounce can of diced tomatoes
about 5 cup(s) chopped collard greens, or kale leaves (about 1 bunch), tough stems removed. You can also use some of the frozen stuff, but it doesn't have much texture and might make the soup kind of goopy
Smoked Ham Steak / sausage... whatever ya got

The easiest way to do this is to saute the vegetables and put everything in the crock pot for the day.
