Baked Chicken Thigh Teriyaki

I love a dish that is baked in the oven and find that it makes time for other culinary tasks like... getting on with dessert of course!

The teriyaki sauce recipe is actually by Brian Turner from the programme Ready Steady Cook, it's the best one I have found to date.

Ingredients:
(Serves Four)

2tsp Tabasco Sauce
4tbsp Clear Honey
4tbsp Sesame Oil
4tbsp Soy Sauce
4 Chicken thighs

Take the Tabasco, honey, sesame oil, and soy sauce and mix well in a cup to make your teriyaki marinade.

Put the chicken in a small baking dish and pour 1/2 of the teriyaki sauce over the chicken coating each piece well. Cover and leave to marinate from a minimum of 30mins.

Preheat oven 200C

Uncover the chicken and bake in the oven for approx. 30-35mins until the chicken is cooked through, 10mins into the baking add the rest of the teriyake sauce.

Remove the chicken from the baking tray and transfer the sauce into a small pan and rapidly boil for a few minutes until reduced, pour over the chicken on serving.

Serve on a bed of bssmati rice and a side of sugar snaps.

Chickpea Burgers

I am conscious of what I eat during the week and that variety is important so not to get bored and reach for the biscuit tin, time is also a big constraint on what goes on the menu. The last thing I want to do after a long day’s work is sweat over a hot stove for hours on end, so I am always looking for simple, quick and more importantly TASTY options to bring to the dining table. Ingredients: 1 can of chickpeas 1 carrot 2 shallots 1 large egg 2 tbsp breadcrumbs Salt & pepper Ground Cumin Cayenne Pepper Grate the carrots and chop the shallots finely (or whizz in a food processor with the grater attachment), transfer to a pan with a little olive oil and sweat for a few minutes to sweeten the shallots slightly, set aside. Drain and rinse the chickpeas and put them into a food processor with all the spices, salt and pepper. Slightly pulse for a rough and chunky paste. Stir in the carrot, shallots, egg, and breadcrumbs until evenly mixed. Time to get you

Crumble 200g of feta cheese onto the base, add the spinach keeping the 1cm border clear, then scatter the remaining 150g of feta cheese on top. Co
