Recipes to tickle your taste buds

A friend of mine asked me for a easy roast chicken recipe, so here it is, my easy spicy chicken dish served with stir fried spinach. 👌 Spicy Roast Chicken Ingredients 4 pieces of chicken (room temperature) 25 ml olive oil/ cooking oil 1 tsp cumin powder 1 tsp chili powder ½ tsp curry powder 1 tsp dried mixed herbs 1 tsp salt 1 tsp black pepper 10 ml soya sauce (optional) 1 tsp fresh thyme (optional) Method 1. Combine the cumin, chili and curry powder along with the mixed herbs, salt and black pepper into a bowl. 2. Add the oil and soya sauce and mix to form a paste  3. Add the chicken to a oven proof baking dish, and put in paste onto the chicken and spread over the chicken evenly to coat it. 4. Sprinkle the fresh thyme over the chicken. 5. Bake at 200 degrees for 40-45 mins or until chicken is cooked through.  Serve with a starch or veg dish 😊

 This is one of my all time favorites, and is a great accompaniment to roasts and grills. 💛💛💛 Ingredients 2 gem squash (cut in half and cleaned) 100 ml sweetcorn (can use cream style or normal corn) 100 ml grated cheddar cheese 20 ml butter/margarine (optional) 2 tsp salt 1 tsp pepper ½ tsp cayenne pepper ½ tsp mixed herbs Method 1. Add the cut gems to a pot of boiling water and add a teaspoon of salt while it boils for about 10-15 mins. 2. Once the gems are soft inside, remove and put into a oven proof dish. 3. Sprinkle some salt and pepper inside each and add a small ½ tsp of butter in each (butter is optional). 4. Add some sweetcorn into each gem squash, sprinkle little salt and pepper on top. 5. Add cheese on top, sprinkle with cayenne pepper and mixed herbs. 6. Bake at 200 degrees celsius until cheese melts, and then about 2 mins on grill to brown the cheese slightly. Serve alone or with roasted chicken, lamb or grills, either way I am sure you will enjoy this one 😃😋
