Roast chicken:

1 chicken

1 book of insults

Method: roast the chicken by humiliating and insulting it - use the book for ideas. If it is a big chicken then you might need a larger book of insults.

This is a recipe I pinched from one of the threads on here and have made several times. As is a lamb recipe, I thought is very topical. There are lots of threads with excellent recipes. Might pinch a few more from several threads to add here. You keep adding your own, especially if someone likes what you mention in the What's for tea/dinner thread.

Lemon and herbs roast lamb and potatoes

INGREDIENTS:

A leg of lamb, 1 to 1.5 kilos of potatoes, 2 tbsp mustard, 2tbsp of honey, 4 tbsp good olive oil, 2tbsp oregano, zest and juice of 2 lemons, 2 to 3 cloves of garlic, a chicken stock tube, couple of rosemary sprigs (leaves only) and salt and pepper.

METHOD

Preheat the oven to 170°C. Cut the potatoes into chunky pieces, add to a dish and the lamb on top.

Beat all of the rest of the ingredients well in a blender to make a marinade and spread well on the lamb and the potatoes.

Add around 250g of water to the dish and cover with greaseproof paper and aluminum foil.

Bake for about 3 hours, then uncover and bake for a further 30 to 40 mins

3 med carrots

3 red peppers

4 stalks celery

5 cloves garlic

1/2 chorizo ring

1.5L veg stock

Dice all the veg and chorizo and stick in a deep roasting tray with a drizzle of olive oil. Roast for approx 45 mins @ 180° or until there is a little charring on the veg.

While the veg is cooking add the lentils and stock to a large pan, bring to the boil and simmer.

I have actually made this one which I also found in an archive thread. Delicious.

SPICY MEATBALLS

Sauce:

• 3 tbsps olive oil

• 1 choped onion

• 1 minced garlic clove

• A couple of bay leaves

• 1 tsp of allspice

• 2 tins of plum tomatoes or passata (800g total) and a tbsp of tomato paste ( squeeze the tomatoes and use juice only if you don't like seeds)

• 1/2 tsp red chili pepper flakes

• 1 tsp ground cumin

• 1 small glass of dry red wine

• 1 tsp sugar

• Salt and pepper to taste

Saute onions and garlic in the oil, put in the spices and stir for a couple of mins then add wine and let it evaporate, add rest of ingredients and simer for 20 mins. Add a little water if needed, if sauce too thick.

Meatballs:

• 800 g minced beef

• 1 onion chopped

• 3 garlic cloves minced

• 1 egg

• 2 tbsps oil

• 3 slices bread soaked in a little white wine

• 1/4 tsp ground allspice

• 1/4 tsp nutmeg

• 1 tsp cinammon

• 1/2 tsp paprika

• 2 tsps ground cumin

• Salt and pepper to taste

Mix together, leave to rest for 20 minutes. Shape into oblong or normal round balls, flour lightly and fry on medium heat in a bit of oil till light brown all around. Put side by side in an oven tray, cover with sause and bake for about 35minutes at 180°. Alternatively just add the meatballs to the sauce in the pan and cook on low/medium heat for 30 mins. Do this carefully so you don't break the meatballs.

You can serve with rice or pasta linguine.
