hours 
Cooking time

40

minutes

Ingredients

  • 6 bone in chicken thighs

  • Garlic salt or kosher & fresh cracked black pepper

  • 1/2 cup olives (I love Castelvetrano olives) in brine

  • 1/4 cup olive brine plus 1 tablespoon – divided (used for chicken and Toum sauce)

  • 3 lemons (2 sliced into rounds, 1 juiced) 

  • 1 lb. baby potatoes (I used a medley of colors, pick your favorite)

  • 2- 3 tablespoons olive oil – divided

  • Fresh thyme sprigs

  • Anne’s Toum Za’atar Sauce for potatoes and chicken (recipe below)

  • 3/4 cup of Anne’s Toum Za’atar

  • Leaves from 5 sprigs of fresh thyme

  • 1 tablespoon olive brine

  • Mix together and spread on a small serving platter for potatoes reserving 1 tablespoon to brush on chicken last 5 minutes. Set aside in refrigerator.

Directions

  • Prepare chicken one day in advance by dry brining overnight. Rinse and thoroughly dry chicken thighs. Place chicken on a parchment lined quarter sheet pan. Sprinkle with garlic or kosher salt and season with fresh cracked pepper. Place in refrigerator overnight uncovered. This helps develop a crispy skin. 
  • Preheat oven to 450.
  • Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and assemble while oven preheats.
  • In a baking pan or roaster, pour the olive brine and the juice of 1 lemon. Place the chicken thighs over the cooking liquids and the slices from 1 lemon.
  • Drizzle olive oil gingerly over each piece of chicken about 1 tablespoon and add a few sprigs of Thyme.
  • Roast for 40 minutes and then add your olives to the pan.
  • Prepare Potatoes – you will roast potatoes last 20 minutes while roasting chicken.
  • In a medium pot fill with water half way. Bring to a boil and generously season with kosher salt, about 1 tablespoon. When water is ready, cook potatoes till fork tender, 12-15 minutes depending on the size. While potatoes are cooking prepare a sheet pan with parchment. Drain and cool potatoes and when able to safely handle use a small glass or jar and smash potatoes on the baking sheet. Slice 1 lemon and add these to the sheet pan as well. Season with garlic or kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper. Drizzle with Olive Oil and add leaves from about 3 sprigs of thyme and set pan aside. These will get roasted the last 20 minutes of chicken roasting time.
  • At this time, rotate the chicken and also place your prepped potatoes in as well. Roast for an additional 20 minutes.
  • With your reserved Toum Sauce, during the last 5 minutes, remove chicken and brush the 1 tablespoon reserved Anne’s Toum Za’atar over then place back in oven to finish. Place the roasted potatoes on your serving platter with the Toum Sauce and if desired, brush or drizzle with a little more olive oil. Serve and enjoy!

Prep time

hours 
Cooking time

15

minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 – 1 ½ lb Skirt Steak or whichever protein you prefer

  • 4 Tbsp Anne’s Toum Original

  • 1 Tbsp Cumin

  • 1 Tbsp Oregano

  • 1 Tbsp Chili Powder

  • 1 Tbsp Chipotle Chili Powder

  • Juice of 1 lime

  • Pinch of Salt and Pepper

Directions

  • Combine marinade ingredients in a bowl and mix thoroughly.
  • Place the steak in a large Ziploc bag and pour marinade over the steak. Make sure the steak is fully coated with the marinade.
  • Marinate the steak in the refrigerator between 4-24 hours.
  • When you’re ready, heat your grill to 425-450 degrees. Grill steak for 3-5 minutes on each side.
  • Allow the steak to rest for 5 minutes before cutting against the grain. We either chop it up into bite sized pieces or leave it in slices depending on how we plan to use it.
  • Add whatever taco add-ons you like! We like guacamole (with Lemon Sumac Toum, of course), homemade salsa, a little squeeze of lime, and onions and cilantro!
