EASY LEMONY AND GARLICKY MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Place mushrooms on three pieces of foil stacked together and crumple sides to make a 'pan' that will hold the juices. You can use a metal pan underneath for added stability.
• Grate rind from lemon on top of mushrooms.
• Squeeze juice from lemon and add to 'pan'.
• Add remaining ingredients.
• Leave 'pan' open on top and grill until tender, 6-8 minutes.
• These can also be baked or broiled in oven until tender or cooked in a saucepan on top of stove.
• I usually 'baste' the juices over the mushrooms every so often but it does not seem to affect the outcome if you do not.

LEMONY PICKLED CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Submerge 3 pint jars on a rack in a large pot of water. Cover and bring to a rolling boil, then reduce heat to low to keep jars warm until ready to fill.
• Combine vinegar, water, and pickling salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
• Working with one jar at a time, remove empty jars from canning pot and add a lemon slice and 1/3 of the garlic, mustard seeds, and peppercorns to each. Reserve remaining lemon slices for topping. Pack cauliflower into jars, leaving 1/2 inch for headspace.
• Slowly pour hot brine over cauliflower, leaving 1/2 inch for headspace. Use a clean wooden chopstick to work air bubbles out of jars. Slip in additional veggies if space allows and add a slice of remaining lemon to the top of each jar. Check headspace again and add more brine if necessary to bring to 1/2 inch from top.
• Wipe jar rims, apply lids and bands (not too tightly), and return jars to canning pot. Cover pot and return water to a rolling boil. Process for 10 minutes. Turn off heat, remove pot lid, and let jars stand in the cooling water 5 minutes to help ensure a good vacuum seal.
• Move jars to a folded kitchen towel or wooden cutting board to cool completely before checking seals. Any unsealed jars should be refrigerated and eaten promptly. Store sealed jars in a cool, dark place. Sealed jars are shelf-stable at least 1 year.

LEMONY CHICKEN WITH POTATOES AND OREGANO

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees and, if you like, line a sheet pan with parchment paper (not essential but helpful for cleaning up).
• Trim the ends off 1 lemon, then cut the lemon in half crosswise.Thinly slice one half of the lemon into rounds, then cut the rounds into quarters, creating small triangles. Shake out the seeds then place the lemon quarters into a large bowl. Save the remaining lemon half for serving. Cut the remaining whole lemon into wedges, for serving.
• Add chicken and potatoes to the large bowl with the lemon quarters. Add the oregano, salt and pepper; toss well. (Your hands are the best tools here.) Drizzle in the oil and toss again.
• Arrange chicken thighs skin side up on one half of the prepared sheet pan, and potatoes and lemons on the other, spreading the potatoes out into one layer. Roast for 20 minutes. Using a long-handled spoon, stir the potatoes, then spread them out again in one layer. (You don't have to touch the chicken.) Continue roasting until chicken and potatoes are cooked through and everything is golden and crisped, another 15 to 20 minutes (40 to 45 minutes total roasting time).
• To serve, squeeze the juice from the lemon half all over chicken and potatoes and give everything a good stir to incorporate all the tasty juices and browned bits at the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle with more oregano and salt, and serve with additional lemon wedges and condiments on the side.
