For those of you who are fans of Mediterranean cuisine you’ll love this greek chicken sheet pan recipe. It’s a quick recipe that serves four but if you have a bigger family just click on the box to double or triple the recipe.
As y’all know I like to keep an eye out for different kinds of seasonings that will improve the flavor of my dishes. With that said, I happen to come across some black truffle powder while shopping at Trader Joe’s. I’m familiar with truffle oil but not truffle powder and truth be told I haven’t cooked with either. So I like the idea of adding truffle powder to my spice collection especially since it will keep longer than the oil.
Surprisingly something I didn’t know about truffle is that it belongs to the 5th taste category referred to as umami. Umami is meaty and savory in addition to deepening the flavor of anything you put it on. Chefs around the world often use umami to take their food to the next level and I’m all about that. So I’ve added the truffle powder to my marinade and sprinkled some on the veggies which I have to say definitely improved the flavor!
