Grilled Chicken- Tried and tested

Hamda Gharib

After washing your chicken rub with salt, lemon juice & tumeric.

Cook 2 cups of plain white rice as normal.

Chop a big bunch of coriander with fresh mint and dill. Stir these chopped herbs into the cooked rice and also add a teaspoon each of ground cumin & paprika. Add as many stoned olives as you like.

Stuff the chicken cavity with some of this herby rice. Pile the rest of the rice into your roasting tray. Place your chicken on top of this bed of rice and roast at gas 7 until cooked.

When you come to serving: scoop out the rice from inside the chicken and mix it with the roasted rice. Quarter the chicken and pile on top of the rice. Makes a great dinner centre piece!

Fathema Shahzadi Ahmed- Chiili cheese bites
Ingredients
Grated cheddar cheese, I used 250g and got about 30 out of them.
Roughly chopped tomatoes
As much jalapenos as you like, chopped small
Chopped coriander
Salt and pepper to season

Method
Mix all ingredients together
Mould into balls, I made them quite big, next time I’d make them slightly smaller, they’re very filling!

Beat egg in a dish
Pour breadcrumbs in dish

Have a little production line going: cover balls in egg mix, coat with breadcrumbs.

When you’re done, do it all again, dip in egg and re-coat with breadcrumbs, this will ensure that the cheese is doubly coated so less danger of it spilling out when frying.

Freeze! This is an important step. They need to be frozen so they can set. If you fry straight after making the cheese will probably spill out.

When you’re ready to eat, deep fry. They don’t take long, take out when golden brown. Enjoy!

CREAM

Heavy Cream is also known as 'Whipping cream' with a high percentage of fat. Mascarpone is an Italian cheese made from cream. Mascarpone is milky-white in color and is easy to spread. Can be used in frosting & icing. ALWAYS mix butter with cream cheese/soft cheese or mascarpone.
