Miso chicken with spinach & hemp oil dressing

Marinate chicken, roast, serve salad, that's it! This dish is easy to prepare and most importantly fast. Perfect for days when you have little time for elaborate cooking or as a meal Prep idea to take home on work.

Since I often use the strong and nutty-tasting hemp oil in my kitchen (it is also often referred to as "domestic olive oil"), here are some facts about this healthy cooking oil:

• Hemp is one of the oldest and most versatile crops on earth & has a high content of alpha-linolenic acid, which is essential for humans.

• The ratio of omega 6 to omega 3 fatty acids in the ratio 3: 1 is optimal.

• In addition, hemp contains the essential fatty acid gamma-linolenic acid, which is particularly important for cell metabolism & cell respiration.

• Like most oils, hemp oil is sensitive to light. It should be stored cool and dark, otherwise it will rancid very quickly. An opened bottle of oil should preferably be kept well sealed in the refrigerator and used up within a few weeks if possible. Some (regional) oil factories offer small bottles (100-200ml) for sale, which should be used at best.

• A good oil is unfiltered, that is, valuable suspended matter (minute residual particles of seeds) are still included. Therefore shake the bottle well before use in order to be able to use as much nutrients as possible.

• Hemp oil tastes great in salads, grilled fish and meat thanks to its spicy flavor. Even with inflammation of the skin you can use externally hemp oil at the affected areas.
