This combination of flavours, straight from the Middle East, helps transform humble chicken drumsticks into a special feast. The spice mix also works well brushed over lamb chops. These tender chicken drumsticks only take 40 mins to cook and are cheap to buy in comparison to other joints of chicken. Serve on a bed of rice cooked according to the packet instructions. The pomegranates in this recipe add a burst of sweet flavor to the chicken which is just delicious. The chicken is not too spicy so the kids will love it too.

Pomegranate molasses is a thick sweet/sour syrup made from pomegranate juice; it is used in many sweet and savoury Middle Eastern dishes. If unavailable, use 1tbsp lemon juice and 2tsp clear honey instead.

1 tsp ground ginger
1 garlic clove, crushed
2tsp pomegranate molasses
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2tbsp vegetable oil
8 large chicken drumsticks
2tbsp freshly chopped dill
Seeds from one pomegranate

Method

Pre-heat oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas Mark 6. Put the spices and garlic in a small bowl and mix in the pomegranate molasses, plenty of seasoning and the oil. Mix to make a paste.
Wash and pat dry the chicken and arrange in a shallow baking dish. Brush all over with the spicy oil and bake in the oven for about 40 mins until tender and cooked through. Drain well.
To serve, serve the chicken over freshly cooked basmati rice flavoured with fried garlic cloves, and sprinkle with dill and pomegranate. Serve immediately.

How to Peel Garlic Like a Boss…Like an Actual Boss

People throw the term “like a boss” around very casually
these days, but when I say this technique shows how to peel garlic like a boss,
it’s meant literally. I was channel surfing a while back, and saw Martha
Stewart demo this very cool trick, and she is, in every sense of the word, a
boss.

Many people have inspired me along this entrepreneurial
journey online, and Martha is definitely one of them. By the way, I hope she
doesn’t take exception to my prison shank joke; but since we are friends (and
by friends I mean we’ve never spoken, but do follow each other on Twitter), I’m
sure she’ll be fine with it. All kidding aside, this trick is no joke.

The great thing about this method, besides the speed and
ease, is that you are truly peeling the garlic, and not crushing it. A crushed
garlic clove produces a stronger flavor than a peeled one, especially when used
raw, and so this is perfect when you need to mince or slice whole, undamaged
cloves. I hope you give this easy trick a try soon. Enjoy!
