n the past, Father’s Day was easy. There would often be grilling. With dad in command of the tongs. But after what we’ve been through, there’s been so much cooking. Grilling, bread making, salads that before we only imagined making after reading so many recipes. While we may all want to pile in the car and actually eat out — in a restaurant — chances are most people are eating at home on Father’s Day. So, let’s go to the grill. Let’s all cook togethAnnabel Cohen er. Everybody make something. After all, Food Columnist everyone’s a cook, baker, a griller, a vegetable gardener. If there’s anything 2020 has taught us, we really can do everything. Here are some recipes to get you in the mood. OLIVE OIL, LEMON, GARLIC CHICKEN WITH HERBED DRIZZLE Za’atar is a blend of herbs and spices with sesame seeds. There are many commercial versions of za’atar available at Arabic markets. It often includes dried herbs such as oregano, thyme, sumac and marjoram. Ingredients 3 pounds boneless and skinless chicken breasts, thighs or a combination of the two. 1/3 cup lemon juice 1/3 cup za’atar ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil (or any other good quality oil) 2 Tbsp. minced garlic 2 Tbsp. grained Dijon mustard

Otherwise, place chicken in a large bowl. Add all the marinade ingredients and toss the chicken to coat well. Cover and chill at this point for up to a day ahead. Combine the “drizzle” ingredients in a small bowl and stir well. Heat grill to medium-high. Arrange the chicken on cook for 8-12 minutes (depending upon how thick the meat is), until just cooked through. Do not overcook. Serve with the drizzle spooned over the filets. Makes 6 servings.
