roast chicken

My go-to lunch when I simply don't want to spend time in the kitchen.

8 chicken drumsticks (or thighs)
some seasoning
olive oil

Preheat oven to 170C fan (190C normal).
Clean and wash the drumsticks if needed, than cut slashes into the chicken with a sharp knife. Rub with the seasoning generously. Place the pieces in a ceramic baking dish (or whatever you have), pour over some olive oil, than bake for 50 mins (or until it's ready), plus 20 mins in 190C fan (210 normal).

Serve with leafy greens or a salad + some rice if needed.

Seasonings I've tried: chicken tikka, salt+pepper (+added parsley and garlic butter for the last 20 mins).

caesar salad vinaigrette

Just a simple, great vinaigrette for everyday salads.
Especially good for caesar salad.
Recipe found on delicious days.

1 garlic clove, finely chopped
2-3 anchovy fillets (in oil)
1/8 tsp flaky sea salt (e.g. Maldon)
1 tsp mustard
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
6-8 tbsp olive oil, plus a little more for frying
4 tbsp water

Using your mortar make a paste from the finely chopped garlic clove, anchovies and coarse sea salt. Add this paste to a large mixing bowl, with the mustard, Worcestershire sauce and lemon juice. Briefly beat with a whisk, then add olive oil by the tablespoon and whisk well in-between. Lastly add water by the tablespoon (whisk well) and season to taste. Keep in the fridge until ready too use.

What I do sometimes is simply add the first 6 ingredients to a bowl, beat with a mixer, than add the oil, beat, than add the water, mix and it's ready.
Great with caesar, or with some leafy side salad (with grated parmesan as a twist).
