Traybake Chicken with Zaatar and Pine Nuts

Posted 2013-07-09 by Tammy Faceyfollow
East African spices remind me of my friend whose Egyptian heritage inspires her wonderful cooking. In a bid to impress I've created an East African dish: Za'atar and Pine Nut Chicken.



Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 45 minutes
Makes: 4 servings

Ingredients
Bunch of corriander
2 (ripe) Lemons
1 tblsp Cinnamon
1 tblsp Cumin Seeds
Ground Black Pepper
50g Pine Nuts
3 Crrushed Garlic Cloves
5 Chicken Thighs/Drumsticks

Required ingredients


Method
  • Remove the skin from the chicken and place in roasting tray.

  • Slice one of the lemons and juice the other in a bowl.

  • Combine the sliced lemon with the olive oil, garlic cloves and pepper in a large bowl.



  • Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and coat with the marinade.



  • Place the bowl in the fridge for at least 3 hours.

  • Season the chicken pieces and pour the marinade in a roasting tray with the chicken.



  • Add half a pint of water to the tray and place in the oven for 40 minutes at (fan) 200C/gas mark 4.



  • Scatter the pine nuts into the tray, along with the corriander for the last 10 minutes of cooking.



  • Scatter fresh corriander on to the chicken once cooked, and serve with salad, and rice/fried bread.
