When I'm in a rush, chopping and prepping these much loved herbs and aromatics becomes tiresome and it always slows me down. The folks at Dorot Garlic and Herbs approached me to try out their frozen prepped herbs and aromatics. I found the garlic and basil in my local Trader Joes and went home to see how fast it would make me in the kitchen. I had this entire meal done in less than 30 minutes. I call that "fast food" when you can make two dishes and please four hungry people.
I loved how easy the garlic and basil just popped out of their little portioned cubical. I put the unused portion back in my freezer for my next cooking adventure. Yes, I really loved these easy and efficient aromatics and herbs by Dorot.
You can make either dishes or both together. My husband, son and I ate the chicken with the pasta. My daughter ate just the pasta since she is not a big fan of meat. They were raving over both and I know this will be an easy week night dinner I can pull together quickly thanks to Dorot's convenience herbs and aromatics. :)

4 boneless/skinless chicken breast

How cool are those cubes! I'd have a blast using them and it's fun to see that you did too. It sounds like our kitchens are a lot alike...I like mine fully stocked with herbs and spices too.
ReplyDeleteYou are making me hungry, Ramona, and it is bedtime!! ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great recipe Ramona! Love all of the garlic and basil you used. Definitely makes a bland chicken breast delicious! I've never heard of Dorot but it's interesting to see that a company finally figured the cube thing out. I love freezing herbs, chile pastes and such in ice cube trays to use during the winter. Very handy and it's like getting fresh basil in January!
ReplyDeleteMmmmm roasted red peppers in my pasta sauce sounds delightful! What a deliciously perfect meal, Ramona! :D
ReplyDeleteI will be on the hunt for this brand; what a nifty idea! This is my kind of meal Ramona.
