About the recipe
Traybakes are super-useful but require an oven, so I’ve taken that concept and transferred it to the hob. Here, there’s no need to turn the oven on at all, you’ll only need one pan, and you’ll end up with something utterly delicious in just 40 minutes. With layers of spice, sweet onions and tender chicken, this is all about achieving big flavour through clever, savvy cooking.
Recipe From
£1 Wonders
By Jamie Oliver
1kg chicken thighs, skin on, bone in
2 onions
2 tablespoons tikka masala curry paste
1 x 400g tin of plum tomatoes
1 mug of basmati rice (300g)
500g frozen peas
1 x 400g tin of light coconut milk
Make it veggie: leave out the chicken and add a tin of chickpeas or lentils with the chopped tomatoes.
Swap out the veg for any you have to hand or that you like – think broccoli florets and slices of courgette or peppers. Choose whichever flavour you want too – go for a different curry paste, or swap in pesto or harissa. Perfect for flexible, family cooking.
This recipe uses the absorption method – it doesn’t really matter the size of your mug, as long as you do 1 mug of rice to 2 mugs of water.
You can always freeze the leftover curry paste in an ice-cube tray, ready to be used another day.
