UN estimates the amount of debris in the Gaza Strip at 37 million tonnes in mid-April, or 300 kilogrammes per square metre
On Thursday night, marinate the roast chicken in the recipe (see right). On Friday morning, you can throw in some potatoes and other root vegetables tossed with olive oil, salt and pepper along with the chicken and roast on a large sheet pan. Serve one piece of chicken (if you can stick to just one) with the vegetables for brunch.
You can refresh your pre-roasted dinner in a way no one will ever know that it wasn't all from scratch. Slice pieces into strips and sauté in a wok or hot pot with a plain oil (like sunflower or peanut oil), and add all the vegetables you have on hand. Broccoli, cauliflower, snow peas, sugar snap peas, string beans, bok choi, cabbage, onions, spring onions and carrots are great for this. Add Kikkoman Soy Sauce and Lee Kum Kee Oyster Sauce instead of salt.
Start your week off with a great salad, combining your favourite leafy salad greens and small pieces of the chicken. Add some sliced avocado on top. Carry olive oil and a lemon to work to drizzle on top, if packing for lunch outside the home.
I am using the term "manwich" here creatively for a huge sandwich. Pile up shredded roast chicken, tomatoes, cucumbers, iceberg lettuce and some avocado for a decidedly moreish sandwich using your favourite bread or baguette. I love mine on the popular Filipino Pan de Sal bread from the Panaderia bakery in Abu Dhabi.
Jazz up any pasta meal with strips of your roast chicken. Just cook pasta, make your favourite sauce and add
the chicken. Grate Parmesan or Romano cheese on top and voila!
On Wednesday, strip the last bits of meat off the chicken and put the bones in a pot of chicken stock and water, or use your favourite stock cube, and cook for 45 minutes with carrots, celery and onions. Serve plain or add baby bok choi for a low-carb meal or add noodles, if desired. Finally, drizzle some toasted sesame oil on top, and serve. Chances are you will have enough soup for Thursday as well.
