DAD'S ROAST CHICKEN -- MY WAY WITH A PARSLEY LEMON JUICE OIL
My dad's roast chicken is really simple. He stuffs a whole chicken with fresh herbs and seasons it with salt and pepper, then pops it in the oven. My version, which uses chicken that's already cut into serving pieces instead of a whole chicken, is less work and cooks a lot faster and more evenly. I've also spruced up the flavor with some grated lemon rind and finish it off with a fresh, colorful and tangy oil for drizzling over the finished chicken. Dad ? your chicken's good but I may have one up on you on this one!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degree F.
- Trim off any excess skin or fat from the chicken. Cut off and discard the wing tips. Place the chicken pieces in an 11 by 13-inch baking pan, or any pan that that they fit in without crowding. Season the chicken pieces generously with salt, pepper, olive oil, the herbs, and the lemon zest. Toss through all the seasonings and then arrange the chicken piece skin side up in the pan. You can season the chicken pieces and set them up in the roaster up to a day before you cook them. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
- Roast until the skin is nicely browned and there is no pink near the thigh bone and the juices run clear, about 35 to 40 minutes. Check both white meat and dark meat. If the white meat is done before the dark meat, take it out and set it on the serving plate until the dark meat is done.
- For the parsley drizzle, wash and dry the parsley. Remove the leaves from the stems and chop the leaves finely. Combine the remaining ingredients in a bowl and use immediately to garnish the roast chicken.
SPAGHETTI WITH EDAMAME, PARSLEY, GARLIC AND OLIVE OIL
Thanks to by Martha Shulman in the 3/27/10 New York Times - Series on dinner for $1.50 or less. "The pasta company Barilla is now making a mixed semolina and whole grain pasta called Barilla Plus that combines a grain and legume flour blend with the traditional semolina. It's a little more expensive than regular pasta, but you'll get more nutrition for your buck. The other ingredients here are not at all pricey. If you can't find the whole grain pasta, this is still an easy, inexpensive and nutritious dish. Advance preparation: This isn't a dish to do in advance, but the whole thing can be made while you're waiting for the water to boil. "

With the machine running, drizzle in the olive oil. Transfer the mixture to a large pasta bowl. (You can also use a mini-chop for this task.)

- 3. Add the spaghetti to the boiling water, and cook al dente following the timing instructions on the package. Checking for doneness about a minute before the stated cooking time. When the pasta is cooked, remove 1/2 cup of the cooking water and add to the bowl with the herbs and edamame or peas. Drain the pasta, and toss with the mixture in the bowl.

Tips:
- To make the most flavorful parsley oil, use fresh, curly parsley. Flat-leaf parsley will also work, but it has a milder flavor.
- Use a high-quality olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice, as it has a rich flavor and aroma.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the parsley by hand. Be sure to chop it very finely, so that it will blend well with the oil.
- Add salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or dried oregano.
- Store parsley oil in a jar or bottle in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Conclusion:
Parsley oil is a versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor and color to a variety of dishes. It's perfect for drizzling over grilled or roasted vegetables, fish, or chicken. It can also be used as a marinade, salad dressing, or dipping sauce. With its fresh, herbaceous flavor, parsley oil is a great way to add a touch of springtime to your favorite recipes.
