Check out the reel to see the easy peasy steps on making a delicious roast chicken from scratch using regular pantry staple ingredients.

For best results use skin-on chicken. The skin roasts to paper-crisp and keeps the meat tender,  moist and flavourful ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿผ removing the skin before roasting dries out the meat faster. If you're not a fan of the skin, or you're keeping your meals low-fat, roast the chicken with the skin on and then remove once roasted. Pour the sauce on afterwards. Although TBH all the flavours lie in the skin.

Butterflying the chicken (cut it down the breast bone and splay it open) allows for quicker and even cooking. Airfry the whole chicken for a quicker meal, it's done in 35 mins (1.3kg bird).

I cannot express enough just how fresh and delicious this ๐—ช๐—”๐—Ÿ๐——๐—ข๐—ฅ๐—™ ๐—ฆ๐—”๐—Ÿ๐—”๐—— was.
It's fruity and savoury
It's zesty and nutty
It's creamy and crunchy 
It's crisp and oh-so-delicious!

I'm not sure why I didn't make this sooner, but it definitely has a firm place as one of my favourite salads ever and will be made regularly. It features grapes, celery, apples, lettuce and walnuts. I threw in some cranberries and pistachios for added colour and texture. All this is topped with a creamy yoghurt-poppyseed dressing ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ˜

It's also perfect to take as a side dish when you're invited out. Making it for the next braai ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผ

Swipe to the last slide for the recipe ๐Ÿ“‹ 
Second -last slide shows you the elements of the salad before I mixed it up. If you're a salad person, you will love this. Feel free to add in some shredded chicken for a full meal in one .

In partnership with @goldendelightza for the ๐™Ž๐™ฅ๐™ง๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™œ ๐™๐™š๐™–๐™ก๐™ฉ๐™๐™ฎ ๐™ข๐™š๐™–๐™ก๐™จ ๐™ฌ๐™ž๐™ฉ๐™ ๐™ง๐™ž๐™˜๐™š ๐™˜๐™–๐™ข๐™ฅ๐™–๐™ž๐™œ๐™ฃ I had whisked up Cajun Hake fillets served on Moroccan Jewelled Rice. This is such a flavoursome meal, light and healthy. The rice is so good it can be eaten entirely on its own. It has a sweet-savoury flavour to it with added texture from cranberries and cashew nuts and pairs perfectly with the hake. Try this rice recipe with chicken strips or steak too.

Golden Delight rice is quick to cook and the premium quality ensures perfect cooking results every time ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿผ 1 cup of rice yields 4 cooked cups! Which is great to feed the whole family comfortably, making rice an economical choice.

Try one of their varieties of rice: parboiled, white, fragrant, basmati rice and sugar beans.

For the hake: @justplated_

Rinse and pat fillets dry. In a flat plate season 1 cup flour with 2 tbsp Moroccan fish spice or any dry fish spice. Dip fillets in flour and shallow fry until crisp and golden brown on both sides. Drizzle with tartare sauce or chilli mayo.

Absolutely glorious, tender, buttery, cheesy potatoes ๐Ÿ˜
This was insanely good and so easy.

If you've visited Turkey, you would know this street food is commonly found across the region. It is traditionally a baked potato, sliced down the centre. The flesh is mashed with butter and cheese and then topped with any number of toppings from chicken to ground meat to olives and beans.

I did a simple one here, and ofcourse a #hack to fast forward the process. 

4 medium potatoes, skin on
Place then in a microwave-safe bowl. Add โ…“ cup water or 1cm to cover the base of the bowl. Lightly prick the skins with the tip of a knife, 3 or 4 piercings per side (this prevents the potato from bursting.)
Microwave on high for 6 minutes. Drain water and set aside for 10 minutes to cool slightly.

Then you will need:
4 tbsp of butter (1 tbsp per potato)
1 cup grated cheddar cheese 
Salt
6-8 green or black olives, sliced

Take each potato, cut it lengthwise down the centre but not all the way through to the bottom. 
Fluff the inside of the potato with a fork and add 1 tbsp butter and 2 tbsp of cheese to the mash, mix it through. Top with a few slices of olives and more cheese (use your heart to measure here ๐Ÿ˜‹)
Pop it back into the microwave for 2 minutes or airfry for 5 minutes at 180ยฐC.
Serve hot and melty. Sprinkle with paprika to garnish.

Sorry guys I had to post this again. The previous reel glitched ๐Ÿ‘€

Turkish Lamb Chops
Kumpir...this one deserves a post of it's own ๐Ÿ˜
And Turkish Salad

Turkish Lamb Chops
@justplated_

Marinate chops with:
1 tsp Chilli powder 
1 tbsp freshly ground Ginger
1 tbsp freshly crushed Garlic
ยฝ tsp Salt 
ยฝ tsp freshly ground Black pepper 
1 tsp paprika 
1 tbsp olive oil

In a processor, blitz together:
Half onion
Half a red pepper
Mint
Parsely 
2 tbsp Olive oil
2 tbsp fresh Lemon juice
Zest of half a lemon
1 tsp Pomegranate molasses (or use soy sauce. Slightly different flavor)
1 tsp honey
Add to the marinated chops and set aside for 30min to half an hour at room temperature. Meat should not be cold when placed into the oven, it affects the cooking time.

Preheat oven to 200ยฐC.
Arrange chops on a foil-lined tray. Bake in the oven uncovered for 35 minutes. If chops are thickly sliced then bake up to 45 mins. 
Remove from the oven once the chops have reddened.
Serve with kumpir (Turkish baked potatoes) and salad

Lamb Kalya for Friday lunch? Yes or no?

Some traditionally have dhall and rice on a Friday, I honestly love it (see last Friday's post) but every week a different dish makes it to my table. So kalya it is. 
I served this both with naan and rice (yes it's actually good!) as an option. 

What's your favourite Friday dish?

๐Ÿ’š This recipe is from the green Food with Flair book that I adapted a little.The original recipe is written for chicken which I subbed with lamb. Will post up a little later in comments. Save the post to find it.

Homemade scones...there's just something rustic and homely about it. Top with butter and jam or get fancy with whipped cream and strawberries ๐Ÿ“ either way you're going to love it.

Light & flaky Scones
@justplated_

2 cups flour
125g cold butter, cut into cubes (for even distribution)
3 tbsp sugar
ยผ tsp salt
4.5 tsp baking powder (23ml)
1 egg
ยฝ tsp vanilla essence 
ยพ cup buttermilk

1 egg, whisked - for glazing

In the bowl of a food processor (with blade attachment) add in flour, butter, salt, sugar and baking powder. Process until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. It will take a few seconds.
In a measuring jug add in buttermilk, vanilla and egg. Whisk until well combined.
Turn the processor on and pour in the buttermilk mixture while the machine is running. The mixture will quickly form a ball. If it doesn't,  add in a tablespoon of buttermilk at a time until it comes together. 
Dust your counter or rolling mat with flour.
Empty the dough out onto the floured surface. Sprinkle with flour and pat down gently.
With a rolling pin, lghtly roll the dough out to about 2 cm in thickness.
Cut out scones with a scone cutter or drinking glass dipped in flour.
Brush tops of scones with whisked egg.
Bake at 220ยฐC for 10-11 mins until lightly golden brown. Allow to cool completely then transfer to an airtight container. 

*for best results make the dough, as directed, in a food processor. This keeps your dough cold and distributes the butter most evenly without having to rub the butter into the flour
*work quickly so that the dough doesn't warm up while you're rolling and handling the dough
*roll lightly and don't press down excessively, keep the dough light for flaky results 
* whip cold fresh cream with 2 to 3 tbsp icing sugar and top scones with cream and  with fresh strawberries.

Everyone has at least 5 butter Chicken recipes in their recipe books. How can we not? It's such an amazing comfort food. Some are yellow with a thicker gravy, some are more red and runny. But ALL are absolutely delicious in their own way.

Which is your favourite version??

This one is my go-to weekday dinner meal. It's quick and easy and all the ingredients are regular pantry staples. This recipe does not use fresh cream so it's definitely on the healthier side, especially if you're counting calories.

Butter Chicken
@justplated_ 

1 tsp tumeric
2 tsp Kashmiri chilli
2 tsp tandoori masala
1 tsp ginger-garlic paste
Salt to taste
1 tsp jeera powder
ยฝ tsp dhania powder
2 tbsp ground almond
ยพ cup double cream yoghurt
Marinate chicken in above spices. Set aside for 15 to 20mins.

1 onion, finely processed
80g butter
2 cinnamon sticks
ยฝ cup tomato puree
ยฝ cup double cream yoghurt
2 tbsp tomato sauce
2 tsp garam masala
1 tbsp cornflour/Maizena mixed into ยผ cup water

Braise onion in butter with cinnamon.
When translucent add in tomato puree. Cook for a minute. Remove from heat. With a handblender blend the mixture into a puree.

Return pot to heat, add in chicken pieces.
Simmer until chicken is cooked.
Just before chicken is done, add in half cup yoghurt and garam masala, simmer for 5 minutes. Add in water with cornflour for a silky gravy and simmer one minute more.
Serve with rice or butter naan.
