Ingredients

4 Garlic cloves, crushed

1 Red Chilli, eseeded and chopped

1 tsp Smoked paprika

1 tsp Ground cumin

1 tsp Turmeric

4 Chicken legs or thighs, skin removed

Spray oil

800g New Potatoes, halved

1 Aubergine, cut into large chunks

300g Cherry tomatoes

1 Garlic bulb, cut in half (Optional)

1 Lemon, quartered

A few sprigs of thyme salt and freshly ground black pepper

Watercress or rocket, to serve

Method

Preheat the oven to 200 ° C. Blitz the garlic, chilli and spice in a small blender or food chopper to a paste, or grind with a pestle and mortar. Use to coat the chicken. Lightly spray a large roasting pan with oil and add the spicy chicken, potatoes, aubergine, tomatoes, garlic (if using) and lemon quarters. Spray oil over the top and tuck in the thyme sprigs. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven, turning the chicken and vegetables once or twice, for 1 hour or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.

Squeeze the garlic (if using) out of the skins and mash into the pan juices. Serve immediately with some watercress or rocket.

TIP: You can add red onion, courgette, peppers and squash to the roasting pan.
