Shemin’s Indian Curry Paste

Our multi-award winning paste will be your new secret when it comes to Indian cooking. 

Ingredients

  • 2 peppers, cut into wedges
  • 2 potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 700g chicken thigh fillets
  • 1 pot (100g) Shemin’s Tikka Paste
  • 150g natural yoghurt or 400g coconut milk (alternative option)
  • 100g broccoli
  • A handful of cherry tomatoes
  • 1 red chilli, sliced (optional)
  • 1–2 tbsp oil (olive or vegetable)
  • Pinch of salt (optional)
  • Knob of butter (to finish)

How to make Chicken Tikka Traybake

Prepare the tray

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the peppers, potatoes and cherry tomatoes into a large, shallow roasting tray.

Make the marinade

In a small bowl, mix the Shemin’s Tikka Paste with the yoghurt (or coconut milk if using). Pour half of the marinade over the vegetables, add the oil and a pinch of salt (if using), then toss to coat.

Step 3

Coat the chicken thighs in the remaining marinade. Do the same with the broccoli, then set the broccoli aside.

Step 4

Lay the marinated chicken on top of the vegetables, making sure everything is in a single layer. Roast for 30 minutes.

Step 5

Add the broccoli to the tray and return to the oven for a further 15 minutes. Check the chicken is cooked through — it should be piping hot with no pink in the centre.

Step 6

Remove the tray from the oven and add a knob of butter, allowing it to melt into the sauce for extra richness. Scatter over the sliced red chilli (if using) and serve straight from the tray.

Tips

  • Don’t overcrowd the tray – Make sure everything sits in a single layer so the vegetables roast rather than steam.
  • Chicken thighs work best – They stay juicy at high heat and take on the marinade beautifully.
  • More flavour? You can marinate the chicken up to 24 hours ahead for even deeper flavour.
  • Use what you’ve got – Courgettes, red onion, cauliflower or leftover roast potatoes all work well in this traybake.

Middle Eastern Style Lamb Quinoa

This recipe is bursting with fragrant spices, fresh herbs, spicy mince, and is topped with a delicious feta and quinoa crumble. Add the pop of fresh pomegranate and you’ve got yourself a showstopper!

Ingredients

For the quinoa crumble

  • 240g uncooked quinoa
  • 500ml water
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 200g feta, crumbled
  • zest 1 lemon
  • handful fresh mint, chopped
  • handful fresh parsley, chopped
  • pomegranate seeds

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 190°C / Gas Mark 5.
  2. Fry the mince without oil in a non-stick frying pan, breaking it up as it browns. Transfer to a colander, set over a bowl to drain.
  3. Wipe the pan with kitchen paper and add 2 tbsp olive oil. Cook the onions over a low heat for 10 minutes or until softened.
  4. Add Shemin’s Indian Curry Paste with a splash of water and cook on a low heat for 2 minutes.
  5. Return the mince to the pan (discard the drained juices) and pour in the passata and 100ml water. Simmer on a medium to low heat for about 20 minutes, lid off, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is thick and saucy. Taste and season.
  6. Meanwhile cook your quinoa by adding it to the pan with 500ml cold water and bring to the boil. When boiling, put the lid on and simmer until the water has evaporated. Alternatively cook according to the pack instructions.
  7. When ready, fluff up with a fork and stir in the olive oil, feta, lemon zest and most of the herbs (save some for the garnish). Taste and season.
  8. Pour the lamb mixture into an ovenproof dish and spoon over the quinoa crumble. Cook for 20-25 minutes until the topping is golden and the sauce is bubbling.
  9. Remove from the oven and scatter over the top the remaining herbs and pomegranate seeds. Serve with vegetables.
Tips:
  1. If you have some wine open (red or white), add a glug to the pan in step 5.
  2. If you’re not keen on lamb mince, you can use beef mince instead
  3. For a vegetarian version, you can use a mincemeat substitute like Quorn.
