I know, YOU folks don't think anything about it. I've been a vegetarian for ages, so it's still a novelty for me. I did a bulk cook-up this afternoon of some mango & lime baked chicken to keep me going the next couple of weeks. The pic below is about 6 1/2 pounds (3 kilos) of assorted free-range chicken bits (two sizes of legs and a few breasts).
Of course, life always throws you curve balls. When I started the marinade yesterday evening, the gallon double-zipper freezer Ziplock bag I was using blew the zipper, liberally spraying me, the counters and cabinet fronts, the oven, and the floor with
6 cloves garlic, peeled
12 oz (340 g) mango peeled, pitted & cubed
¼ cup (60 ml) fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
¼ cup + 2 tbsp (90 ml) coconut aminos
¼ cup (60 ml) avocado oil
¼ cup (60 ml) spring water
3 tbsp (20 g) minced fresh ginger
2 tbsp (15 ml) fish sauce (Red Boat 40°N 'cos I couldn't find Son)
Zest of 2 limes
and the 6 1/2 pounds of chicken
D'oh!
Just so you know, '
free range' is NOT the same thing as '
cage free'. To qualify for 'cage free', all they have to do is open the door of the cage for 5 minutes per day.
