Ingredients

Ingredients
1.8kg chicken
2 onions, thickly sliced
1 lemon, halved
thumb-sized piece ginger, peeled and thickly sliced
400g can coconut milk
small bunch coriander, roughly chopped
150ml pot natural yogurt
1 tbsp tomato purée
juice 1 lemon
1 tsp each hot chilli powder, turmeric, ground coriander, ground cumin, garam masala and ground cinnamon
6 garlic cloves, whizzed to a paste with the ginger
½ finger-length piece ginger, whizzed to a paste with the garlic
few drops red food colouring (optional)
Tip
Serving suggestion
Serve with basmati rice or spicy roasted spuds and some greens or an Indian-style coleslaw.

Direction

Mix the marinade ingredients with 2 tsp salt and 1 tsp black pepper. Slash the legs of the chicken a few times, then rub the marinade all over, including under the skin of the breast. Marinate in the fridge for up to 24 hrs. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the onions, lemon halves and ginger in a roasting tin. Sit the chicken on top and roast for 1½ hrs or until the thigh juices run clear when tested with a skewer. When the chicken is done, lift out of the tin, sit in a new dish, cover loosely with foil and leave to rest. Fish out the ginger from the tin and discard. Scrape out the roasted middles from the lemons into a food processor, add the onions and any pan juices, and whizz to a purée. Scrape the purée back into the tin and sit on the hob. Stir in the coconut milk and bubble gently, scraping up any chicken bits that have stuck. You can add a splash of water if the sauce is too thick. Stir in the coriander and serve with the chicken.

chilled pea soup scaled

Chilled pea soup with frozen mint & malt vinegar

First, make the ice cubes. Bring 75ml water, the malt vinegar and sugar to the boil. Add the mint leaves and set aside to steep for 10 mins. Strain into a jug, then pour into 12 holes of an ice cube tray and freeze until solid. In a heavy-based saucepan, heat the butter until foaming, add the bacon and fry until crispy. Remove using a slotted spoon and set aside. Add the onion to the pan and cook until soft, about 10 mins. Add the sugar and 400ml water, bring to the boil, then add the frozen peas and mint. Bring back to the boil for 1 min, then remove from the heat and leave to cool a little. Pour the soup into a blender and blend until smooth. Pass through a fine sieve into a bowl (see tip below). Taste and season, then cover with cling film and chill until ready to serve. Chop the crispy bacon into small bits. To serve, mix the bacon with the fresh peas and rapeseed oil in a bowl. Ladle the soup into your dishes and add the ice cubes (if you like, you can crush them a bit too). Top with the bacon and peas, and scatter over a few mint leaves.
