Prep Time:15minutes mins
Cook Time:35minutes mins
Servings:6 servings

Ingredients

SEASONING:

  • ▢1 teaspoon Goya Adobo All Purpose Seasoning
  • ▢1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ▢3/4 teaspoon paprika
  • ▢1/4 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
  • ▢2 chicken Marylands chicken, bone in, no skin

SOUP:

  • ▢1 onion cut into wedges
  • ▢1 carrot peeled and chopped
  • ▢1 stalk celery chopped
  • ▢2 cups chopped Kent pumpkin flesh no seeds, peeled
  • ▢1 potato peeled and chopped (optional)
  • ▢1/2 green cabbage cut into wedges
  • ▢1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • ▢3 tablespoons Salsa Lizano
  • ▢33 fl oz water add more as needed
  • ▢2 tablespoons fresh chopped cilantro coriander or parsley
  • ▢Salt and pepper to taste (only if needed)

Instructions 

  • Combine seasoning ingredients together. Season chicken on both sides.
  • Add a drizzle of olive oil to a pot. Sear chicken for 3-4 minutes each side, or until golden.

Don’t move the chicken too much at the start. Let it sit so it actually browns. That color at the bottom of the pot = flavor for the broth.

  • Add in onion, carrot and celery, mixing around the chicken. Cook for 2 minutes. Add in the garlic and cook for a further minute until fragrant.

Add the garlic last so it doesn’t burn. You just want it fragrant, not browned, or it can turn bitter.

  • Add the pumpkin, potato and cabbage, and remaining seasoning; mixing around to coat veggies in all of the flavour and chicken juices.
  • Pour in the water, salsa lizano and cilantro (or parsley).
  • Bring to a simmer and cook until vegetables are soft.

You’ll know it’s ready when the chicken pulls apart easily and the pumpkin starts to soften into the broth slightly. That’s what gives it more body without adding anything extra.

  • Taste test, season if desired.

Recipe information

  • YieldServes 4

Ingredients

¼ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)

2 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce (or to taste)

1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger

1 tablespoon minced garlic

1 pound wild salmon fillet, cut into 4 (4-ounce) pieces

1½ teaspoons sesame oil

2 tablespoons finely chopped scallions, for garnish

Preparation

Step 1

In a 1-gallon zip-top plastic bag, combine the soy sauce, honey, vinegar, Sriracha, ginger, and garlic. Add the salmon, toss to coat evenly, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours, turning the fish once.

Step 2

Remove the salmon from the bag, reserving the marinade. Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat and add the sesame oil. Rotate the pan to coat the bottom evenly and add the salmon. Cook until one side of the fish is browned, about 2 minutes. Flip the salmon and cook until the other side browns, 2 more minutes. Reduce the heat to low and pour in the reserved marinade. Cover and cook until the fish is cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes.

Step 3

Place a piece of salmon on each of 4 serving plates and sprinkle with the scallions.
