drumsticks

coat some chicken drumsticks (they show 5, but it can vary) in a mixture of flour, caraway seed, 2 tsps cumin seeds, crushed in a mortar and pestle (or a hammer and plastic baggie), 2 tsps sweet paprika and 2 bay leaves. Toss the drumsticks in the mixture (in a plastic bag), add oil, toss again and leave for the flavours to mingle for a least two hours, or overnight.

Make a bed of the marinade in a roasting pan, place the chicken on top and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a skewer pushed into the thickest part releases only clear juice.

honeyed egg

Ingredients

3 tbsp honey
4 eggs
275 ml milk
25g butter
1 tbsp olive oil
Twist of black pepper

Method

Beat together the eggs, milk and oil. Pour a little olive oil into a frying pan and heat. When this is sizzling add the omelette mixture. Agitate with a fork until the mix starts to solidify (this will make for a lighter omelette). When thoroughly cooked on one side turn the omelette over and cook on the other side. Fold in half and turn out onto a plate.

Warm the honey and pour over the omelette. Fold this over once more and cut into thick slices. Sprinkle with black pepper and serve.
