Nothing beats a great roast chicken dinner. Today I'm making lemon and paprika spiced chicken with slow roast pumpkin and cauliflower mash. So easy, so yum!
Please buy organic chickens when possible. I like Oaks chickens from David Jones. They are expensive but its important to remember that chicken are actual animals too, not just a family favourite meal. They deserve to have a nice life and generally don't. This is where the extra money is going, to support a struggling industry of growing happy, organic, free-range chickens. If it helps, imagine dividing the cost of the chicken into how many meals you will get out of it. You will still have a home cooked meal for less than $10 each, I think that's a pretty good deal!
You will need:
1 whole chicken (or chicken pieces)
1 lemon
2 garlic cloves
Half a pumpkin
Coconut Oil
Salt
Paprika
Cauliflower
Butter
1. In a baking dish place the chicken stuff with chopped lemon and garlic cloves.
2. Sprinkle generously with paprika and salt and rub into chicken
3. Cut pumpkin into chunks and place around the chicken
4. Add 2 Tbsp over the top
5. Roast, uncovered, for 4 hours at 120C
6. Boil chopped cauliflower until soft, strain and blend with butter and salt in a food processor until smooth.
I'll let you know how it tastes :)
