The book picture showed very attractive colours on the presented plate, the ones indicating a very healthy meal. It also had one of our favorite thing to eat in this household: the kebab. 

The Prep.

Chicken and Garlic Bread Kebabs.

Kebabs are exciting, so easy to create from simple ingredients. They are never boring especially when you try different combinations. There, it was a pairing we did not see before garlic bread, bay leaves and chicken. We just had to make that recipe.

Easy to cook.

Easy to assemble.

In the Marinade.

There is a marinade for the preparation of the chicken pieces and the bread made of rosemary, sea salt, garlic, olive oil, white wine vinegar and cayenne pepper which give those kebabs an awesome flavour.

Smashing up the Rosemary.

It is always nice to go in the patio garden and pick up the herbs you need for completing a dish. This time it was the turn of the Rosemary. I usually used the entire leaves without any process but there we needed to smash them up with a pinch of sea salt in a pestle and mortar, quite simple really but so effective for the marinade.

The Oranges.

The only ingredient we could not find was the blood oranges so it was swapped for normal oranges. The salad is extremely simple, with the Spinach, Oranges, and Feta Cheese, dressed with lemon juice and a drizzle of Balsamic Vinegar. 

The Salad.

The beauty of this recipe relies on the fact that in the simplicity of it, every single element sings and bursts with flavour. It was a lovely dinner, dead easy to do. We both gave that dish the high five. We will definitely come back to that Jamie Oliver's recipe. It is perfect for Spring and Summer evenings.
