Step 1

Take the thyme, pounded garlic, and lemon juice into a large bowl then mix with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. After the ingredients have been well blended, add in the chicken thighs then roll the pieces thoroughly until they are entirely covered with the paste. To make sure they are well marinated, wrap up the bowl with plastic wrap and toss it into a refrigerator. Let it chill from 20 minutes to 2 hours.

Step 2

Once set up, season all sides of the chicken thighs using salt and pepper. Toss them aside for a second, then preheat the oven to 410° c. Heat the remaining 1 tbsp. of olive oil, in a large size, ovenproof skillet over a flame then add in the pieces of chicken together with the marinade.

Step 3

After 7 to 9 minutes, check if the skin has turned golden brown. If so, turn the chicken, add the lemons in, the courgettes, and the asparagus.

Step 4

For the next 15 to 20 minutes, move the skillet to the oven and cook until the vegetables are soft. Remove from heat and serve while hot.

Step 1

If you get your steaks a day before preparation, wrap them on a plate then place them in the fridge. Anytime longer will lead to darkening which is okay. It’s a sign of oxidation which is great for the flavor. On the other hand, you can still get them fresh.

Step 2

Mix two spoons of the light soy sauce with one spoon of vegetable oil. If you’re not a soy sauce person, you can use a pinch of salt to taste instead. Add in the ground pepper, ¼ spoon of garlic then place one fillet steak in this mixture. In terms of size, a 6 oz steak will roughly go for 1 ½ inch thick.

Step 3

Heat a heavy frying pan to the smoking point. Add each steak separately.

Step 4

Depending on how you prefer the steak, that is either medium-rare or well-done, flip the steak once it’s firm enough. Add in the mushrooms, a slice of butter, then let both cook for a while. Remove the steak once ready then add the whipped cream into the pan.

Step 5

Slightly warm the serving plates together with the saucers for serving the mushroom sauce. For about 3-5 minutes, the mushroom and the sauce will have blended in.
