Ramadan, also known as 'the month of Quran', is the most cherished month in the Islamic calendar. It is the most awaited time of the year where all Muslims come together to pray and bond over food. The duration of fasting begins from the rising of the second dawn until dusk. Devotees keep 'Rozas' (fasts) as a practice of devotion and whole-heartedly follow this practice out of love for their creator. 'Sehri' is the most significant meal that is eaten before the morning prayer and 'Iftar' is the wholesome meal eaten at the end of the day to break the day's fast.

Mother’s Day Recipe: Mary Chamberlin’s Greek Lemon Chicken - The Mercury News

Posted: 26 Apr 2021 07:00 AM PDT

Prefer a Mother's Day dinner to a traditional brunch? Tell your loved ones to whip up this taverna-style, garlic-and-oregano-laced chicken. It's what Carmel mom, grandmother, chef and cookbook author Mary Chamberlin will be eating when she gathers with her family on Mother's Day.

The recipe, which is featured in Chamberlin's new cookbook, "The Traveling Cookbook: Discovered Recipes from Around the World" (Mary Chamberlin Cookbooks, $45), comes from a waitress Chamberlin met while dining at Papagus Restaurant in Chicago.

"She said, 'Do not change a thing when you prepare this dish,'" Chamberlin recalls. "And you won't want to. It's perfect."

Mary Chamberlin's Greek Lemon Chicken

Serves 4 to 6

Marinade: 

6 cloves garlic, crushed

1½ tablespoons dried oregano

2 teaspoons salt, or to taste

Juice of 2 lemons

½ cup water

Chicken dish:

9 or 10 pieces chicken thighs, wings, breasts or legs

2 large or 8 small red potatoes, peeled and cut in chunks

1 large onion, cut in chunks

3 to 4 zucchini or other summer squash, cut in chunks

3 Japanese eggplant, cut in chunks

Salt, black pepper

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Juice of 2 lemons

Olive oil

Lemon wedges and fresh parsley or cilantro for serving

Directions

Combine the garlic, oregano, lemon juice, salt and water. Combine the marinade and chicken in a plastic bag, thoroughly coating the chicken. Seal and refrigerate overnight.

The next day, grease a large baking dish or 3-inch deep casserole with cooking spray. Heat oven to 375 degrees.

Place vegetables in bottom of casserole dish and season with salt, pepper, oregano and lemon juice. Pour the marinade into the casserole dish, pouring down the sides so it doesn't disturb the seasoning on the vegetables. Place chicken on top of vegetables and generously drizzle olive oil over the top.

Roast, uncovered, for about 90 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and vegetables are done. The chicken should be basted several times while roasting.

Serve with wedges of lemon and freshly chopped parsley or cilantro — and good bread to dip into the sauce.

From Mary Chamberlin's "The Traveling Cookbook: Discovered Recipes from Around the World" (Mary Chamberlin Books, $45)
