Grilled Turkey Aioli Time: 30 minutes
2 - 4 turkey cutlets, 12oz total (350gr) could substitute chicken breasts
Marinade
3 tbs soy sauce
3 tbs mayonnaise
3 tbs olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder - or 2 cloves minced
2 tsp dried basil
In small bowl whisk together the ingredients for the marinade - whisk well: it should emulsify (come together thickly). Pour over turkey and let marinate for 15 minutes - or longer if you are doing other stuff, up to 45 minutes. Remove from marinade and cook on barbecue 4 - 8 minutes turning once or under broiler for 12 - 15 minutes turning once - or sauté in large skillet 10 - 15 minutes (you get the picture). Baste with any remaining sauce. In all cases it depends on thickness and test for doneness by slicing and peaking. Serve. Chicken breasts will take about 10 minutes longer to cook.
Oriental Pasta Salad Time: 20-30 minutes depending on pasta cooking time
2 cups bite-size pasta - farfalle, fusilli, etc.
1 can red kidney beans, 15oz (450gr)
6 oz (180gr) green beans or 1 can white kidney beans, 15oz (450gr)
3 tomatoes, medium
1/2 green pepper
3 tbs snipped fresh basil (optional)
2 tbs snipped chives
Vinaigrette
3 tbs soy sauce
3 tbs tarragon white wine vinegar
3 tbs olive oil - or walnut oil if you have it (even better)
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Cook pasta according to package directions. Top and tail green beans and cut into 1" (2.5cm) lengths. Add to the boiling pasta for the last 5 minutes of cooking time. Drain and rinse kidney beans and put into a large bowl. Slice tomatoes, then cut each slice into quarters and add to beans. Julienne green pepper, add to beans. Snip chives and basil and add to beans. Add vinaigrette to beans and toss gently to combine. When pasta and beans are done drain well, rinse briefly with cold water and add to bean mix. Toss gently to combine. Leftovers tomorrow night..
For vinaigrette: mix soy sauce, vinegar, oregano and garlic in small bowl. Add oil and whisk - mixture will not emulsify (thickened) but should be well blended.
