cookbook_challengeFrom The Roasting Tin Around the World by Rukmini Iyer
Ingredients
2 red onion, quartered
3 cloves of garlic, unpeeled
4 corn on the cob
8 chicken thighs
150g chorizo, roughly chopped
3 tsps chipotle chilli flakes
1 tsp salt
2 tsps ground coriander
2 tbsps olive oil
A handful of fresh coriander, chopped
SALSA
1 x 400g tin of black beans, drained and rinsed
2 tbsps extra virgin olive oil
100g feta cheese, crumbled
2 limes, juice and zest
Method
1. Preheat the over to 180C fan/200C/gas 6.
2. Put everything except the fresh coriander in a tin large enough to hold it all on one layer. Mix spices and oil into the chicken and sweetcorn.
3. Roast for an hour.
4. Mix the salsa and scatter it and the fresh coriander over the chicken when it comes out of the oven
Changes, Mistakes and Substitutions
I made this one pretty much as is, apart from using lime juice instead of real limes. Because we hoped to feed this to the offspring we left the salsa on the side, rather than adding to the chicken in the pan.
Verdict
A bit of a disappointment this one. The chicken thighs were lovely, but the chorizo had cooked to a crisp (maybe I didn't chop roughly enough - but even so, in retrospect, 1 hour seems a long time to roast chorizo), everything else was just ordinary. This felt more like roast things and a feta dressing, rather than a coherent dish.
