Crispy chicken wings

In the spirit of Martin's favourite woman (Gizzi Erskine), I have decided to put up another recipe for him to use should the need arise. I actually commend his choice of crush - she looks great, dresses really really well and cooks nice, easy to copy food. So well done Martin for showing sense and judgement. Anyway this is how to make crispy chicken wings: Add the zest and juice of one lemon, to 2 tablespoons of oil in a jug. Add tarragon (or mixed herbs if you haven't got tarragon) and season with salt and pepper. Pour over a box of chicken wings (Sainsburys basics do a pack of about 10 for £1.53). You can leave this to marinade for a day if you like. Place on a baking tray and sprinkle the marinaded wings with paprika ( quite a lot of paprika). Cook in the middle of a hot oven for 20 minutes and then move the wings to the top shelf for 5 minutes to get a nice crispy skin.



Serve with chips, green stuff and ketchup (yes Martin, ketchup!)

This is a little how-to for Martin. So he can learn how to make Indian food. This is the recipe for saag keema (spicy minced beef with spinach) You will need, 500g mince, 3 cloves of garlic (cut small), 1 small onion (diced), tinned tomatoes, cherry tomatoes (halved), spinach (roughly cut), salt, pepper, ground cumin, ground garam masala, tumeric powder and hot chilli powder optional


Soften the onion and garlic in oil. Add cumin, salt and pepper.











Add the mince and brown off on a mid high heat. Drain off fat after mince is completely brown.










Halve tomatoes and add to mince along with tinned tomatoes








Add tumeric, masala and cumin to taste. Also chilli if you like it hot








Add spinach








And there you go! Saaag keema. Serve with Naaan, bread, salad, yoghurt, anything really. I had to ring up my grandma to find out how to get it right and she was very detailed and precise in her instructions. However, very displeased that I was making such a small amount of keema (half a kilo is apparently a very small amount!).
