Summerdreams

While I am lying sick at home and really wish the summer to come back, I want to share some summer dreaming with you.

This was a small garden barbeque with our small „smokey joe
“. We got delicious Tandoori-chicken with Nigella's New Orleans coleslaw and home-grown peas & carrots, with middle-east inspired yogurt cream.

Mmmm...it tasted mouthwatering and I feel right better when I think of this beautiful summer evening. The autumn has certainly its beautiful sides, but I'm already looking forward to next summer.

Tandoori-chicken

1.5 kg chicken legs

500 g yogurt

½ tbls. grated ginger

3 crushed garlic cloves

2 tsp. ground red pepper

2 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. cinnamon

1 tsp. ground cumin

1 tsp. ground coriander

1/4 tsp. ground cloves

freshly ground black pepper

and some fresh Limes

Pour the yogurt into a bowl, add all the spices and mix well. Make 2-3 deep cuts into each chicken-leg, cover the legs with the marinade and rub the marinade into the slits.

Let the chicken marinate for at least 8 hours in the fridge.

Take the chicken out of the fridge and and wipe off the excess marinade

Grill the legs indirectly for 40 minutes and serve with the fresh limes.

Yours AK
