Рецепт Recipe For Gooi & Enjoy™ Chicken Cous Cous Salad
Gooi & Enjoy™ is a Meal Dice Challenge created by PaperKutz and I was one of the lucky recipients of a set of these dice, together with a R100 Pick N Pay gift card voucher, a wooden spoon and a spoon rest. From this post here you can read in the comments that the spoon holder is by far the most amazing new item in my kitchen.

The dice come in a tin mug and consist of 5 basic dice for proteins, carbohydrates, herbs, an extra ingredient and cooking methods. There are 4 additional dice, one for each season of the year.

This South African created product will help you decide what to cook for dinner, using fresh ingredients. If you are a fan of the mystery basket in Master Chef, or Chopped, then these dice are for you. The idea is to roll the 5 basic dice, plus the seasonal vegetable dice and then cook dinner. I chose to use the spring and summer vegetable dice as we are sitting on the cusp of the two seasons, with spring vegetables slowly making their way out, and summer vegetables making their way in. Here was my roll of the Gooi & Enjoy™ dice.

Tasked to Create, Cook and Enjoy I made a cous cous salad for dinner. I was really challenged as I would ordinarily pan fry my chicken fillets! So, the dice achieved something for me as promised, they reinvigorated my cooking routine and made food fun!
