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.

Melt in the mouth pulled pork, the recipe is made in the slow cooker and uses Shemin’s Cajun Spice Blend.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 kilo Boneless pork shoulder, skin removed
  • 2 tbsp. Shemin’s Cajun Spice Blend
  • 1 tbsp. White wine vinegar
  • 200ml Chicken stock
  • 1 Cooking apple, sliced
  • 1 Large onion, sliced
  • Salt and pepper to season

Method

  1. Place the sliced apple and onion at the bottom of your slow cooker. Pour the chicken stock over the apple and onion.
  2. Season the pork with salt and pepper. Heat a large non-stick pan until hot and sear the pork on all sides until golden brown. Remove from the pan and place on a board.
  3. Mix Shemin’s Cajun Spice Blend with the white wine vinegar in a bowl. Rub the mixture all over the pork so it has a generous coating, you can add more of Shemin’s Cajun Spice if you need to.
  4. Place the pork in the slow cooker over the onion and apple. Cook on high for 6-7 hours or 8-10 hours on low. The meat should be falling away.
  5. When ready, take the pork out of the slow cooker and shred with a fork. Skim the fat from the sauce in the slow cooker. Mix some of the leftover sauce into the shredded pork.
  6. Delicious served in brioche buns or in tortillas and topped with coleslaw.

If you don’t have a slow cooker, you can make this recipe in a large ovenproof dish. Cover the pork and put in the oven at 150°C/Gas Mark 2 for 6 hours or until the pork is falling apart.
