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.

Mexican Bolognese

We have just made a fresh batch of our award winning Mexican Spice Blend and decided to use it to spice up a traditional bolognese recipe and it turned out absolutely delicious!

Top with plenty of cheese and serve with salad and a dollop of sour cream.

Ingredients

  • 1 red pepper, diced
  • 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 500g beef mince
  • 3 tbsp Shemin’s Smoky Mexican Spice Blend, or to taste
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste,
  • 400g tin of chopped tomatoes
  • 400g tin of black beans, drained
  • 1 tsp brown sugar (optional)
  • 2 tbsp soya sauce
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • black pepper

To Serve:

  • 300g rigatoni pasta
  • 1/2 iceberg lettuce
  • 2 tomatoes
  • 2 spring onions
  • 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
  • sour cream

Method

  1. Heat the oil in a large non-stick pot over a medium-high heat. Add the mince and cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until browned all over.
  2. Stir in the red pepper, garlic and Shemin’s Smoky Mexican Spice Blend. Cook for 2 minutes. Then stir in the tomato paste, tinned tomatoes, black beans, sugar, soya sauce, Worcestershire sauce and black pepper. Bring to a rapid simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low and leave to simmer gently (stirring occasionally) while you prepare the serving ingredients.
  3. Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil. Stir in the pasta and cook for 11 minutes (or according to instructions on the packet), until al dente.
  4. While the pasta cooks, finely shred the lettuce, dice the tomatoes and thinly slice the spring onions.
  5. Season the bolognese to taste, drain the pasta and divide between individual serving bowls. Top the pasta with bolognese, grated cheese, lettuce, tomato, spring onions and a generous dollop of sour cream.
Tips
  • For a gluten free version, replace the pasta with your favourite gluten free pasta. Rice is also a good alternative.
