Wash produce before use

1

Prep and start roasting the potatoes

Heat the oven to 425°F.

  • Scrub the potatoes; cut the potatoes into ½-inch pieces.

Line a sheet pan with foil or parchment paper, if desired. On the prepared sheet pan, drizzle the potatoes with 2 to 3 teaspoons oil; season generously with salt, pepper, and the turmeric spice blend and toss to coat. Spread in an even layer and roast until just starting to soften, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the chicken. 

2

Prep the chicken; roast the potatoes and chicken

  • Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel. Season generously with salt, pepper, and the berbere spice blend.

Remove the pan from the oven. Toss the potatoes and move to one end of the pan. Place the chicken on the other end of the pan. Roast, rotating the pan halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender, golden brown, and starting to crisp, 15 to 20 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the salad. 

3

Make the kale-apple salad

  • Strip the kale leaves from the stems; coarsely chop the leaves.
  • Peel the cucumber, if desired; cut the cucumber into ½-inch pieces.
  • Core and thinly slice the apple.

In a large bowl, stir together the tahini-sumac dressing base, 1 to 2 tablespoons oil, and 1 to 2 tablespoons water; season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the kale and cucumber and toss to coat. Gently stir in the apple. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Transfer the chicken and kale-apple salad to individual plates. Top the salad with the turmeric potatoes and serve.
