Spiced chicken salad with an almond crumbed brie


Ingredients

2 tsp paprika
2 tsp sumac
1 tsp dried oregano (or 1 tbsp fresh, chopped)
1 tsp celery salt

Method

Mix together and pour in enough olive oil so it makes a loose paste. Put your meat in and marinate 2 hours or over night
Take wedges of brie and pat on a crumb mix of almonds and a little parsley on the cut sides- you can use any herbs or nut/seed you like, just blitz to a crumb.
Pan Fry the brie wedges on a high heat for a few seconds each side until the brie starts to melt a little.
Serve up with your favourite salad ingredients! Dressing can be as simple as red wine vinegar and extra virgin olive oil.
One of the most valuable nutrients in cheese is vitamin K2, studies indicate K2 is even more important to your heart, brain and bones than previously thought. Cheese contains high-quality protein and amino acids, high-quality saturated fats and omega-3 fats (esp if grass fed) vitamins and minerals, including calcium, zinc, phosphorus, vitamins A, D, B2 (riboflavin) and B12, Vitamin K2 and CLA (conjugated linoleic acid), a powerful cancer-fighter and metabolism booster. The cheeses highest in K2 are Gouda and Brie, which contain about 75 mcg per ounce. Hard cheeses are about 30 percent higher in vitamin K2 than soft cheeses. What is interesting that the cheeses highest in vitamin K2 also tend to be the highest in protein and calcium! Yay!

The lettuce mix contains Baby Green & Red Russian Kale, Baby Green Curly Kale, Baby Beetroot Leaves, Baby Silverbeet Leaves & Baby Rainbow Chard Leaves.
