Lean Recipes

Shrimp with cocktail sauce

• Combine no-sugar ketchup, horseradish to taste, lime juice and fresh ground pepper.

Oven roasted chicken

• We have a few variations of chicken - rosemary/lime, garlic lemon, worcestershire.
• Wash whole chicken, pat dry.  Coat inside and out with olive oil, ground pepper and garlic mixture.  Pierce limes with a fork and put them in the cavity, along with some slivers of onion and garlic.  Cook at 425 for about an hour and a half - check with meat thermometer after the first hour.

• Fish and other seafood - crab, scallop, shrimp and lobster are on the "leanest" list.  Life is good.
• Slow roasting in the oven or on the bbq keeps the meat moist and flavorful.  I use hickory or mesquite chips in the gas grill's smoker drawer.  If you charcoal barbecue, Smart & Final has great mesquite charcoal.
• Plank cooking fish is wonderful.
