A big big holiday this week in Korea Chuseok
very similar to our Thanksgiving
Wishing all my loved ones and everyone a very blessed Chuseok Holiday
This
year, the holiday falls on September 19th; both of the days preceding (September
18th) and following (September 20th) Chuseok are also counted as holidays. The
Chuseok holidays this year are followed by the weekend, thus making it a
five-day holiday.
During
the Chuseok holidays (September 18 to 22), there will a variety of traditional
events taking place at major tourist attractions in Seoul. Several tourist spots
where people can experience traditional aspects of Korea such as Deoksugung Palace, Namsangol Hanok Village, Korean Folk Village, and National Folk Museum of
Korea, plan to host Chuseok-related events. Moreover, Korea’s major
amusement parks including Lotte World, Seoul Land and Everland will also
offer Chuseok events for visitors.
We had such a fabulous time at my lovely cousin Wendy's gorgeous home on Sunday and she made this delicious recipe.
I wanted to share it with you
Kiss the cook often and season everything with love.
My Cousin Wendy's Delicious Recipe
Garlic Lemon Chicken
6 Tbsp olive oil
2 lemons thinly sliced; one juiced (I used more because I
separated the chicken from the veggies in separate pans)
2 cloves garlic- minced
salt & pepper to taste
3/4 lb trimmed green beans
8 small red potatoes-quartered
4 chicken breasts (I made 6)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Coat baking dish (or dishes)
with approx. 1 Tbsp olive oil
Arrange lemon slices I the bottom of the
dish/dishes
Combine 5-6 Tbsp oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt & pepper
(I omitted and just shook a tiny bit on top of each dish)
Add green beans & toss to coat. Remove with slotted spoon
and arrange green beans on top of lemon slices. Add potatoes to same olive oil
mixture & toss to coat. Remove with tongs and arrange around sides of dish
or skillet on top of green beans. (I put potatoes around the sides of the dish
& green beans in the middle. .. .looked pretty)
Place chicken in same bowl with olive oil mixture and turn chx
breasts to coat thoroughly. Place chx in dish & pour remaining olive oil
mixture on top (I also squeezed another lemon on top and then added a small
amount of salt & pepper) The recipe calls for placing the chx on top of the
veggies. .. .but, I'm one of those people that like to keep meat & veggies
separate)
Roast for 50 min. (I covered with foil. . .don't think I was
supposed to. .. then browned the chicken for an additional 15-20
minutes)
Enjoy your day in every way
