Tahini Chicken Traybake Recipes

TAHINI CHICKEN

Steps:

• Bring water and bouillon cube to a boil in a pot until bouillon is dissolved; decrease heat to low. Whisk tahini, soy sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger into bouillon mixture until smooth. Keep sauce warm over low heat.
• Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir chicken until no longer pink in the center, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Whisk flour into tahini sauce until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add cooked chicken to tahini sauce and toss to coat.

TAHINI CHICKEN TRAYBAKE

Steps:

• 1. Season the chicken thighs. In a large mixing bowl, whisk 2 tbsp tahini together with the garlic, paprika, cumin, lemon juice and oil. Coat the chicken thighs in this mixture, cover and leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours. 2. Preheat the oven to 200oC, gas mark 6. Arrange the chicken thighs in a roasting tin in an even layer and roast for 30-35 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through, the juices run clear and there is no pink meat remaining. Meanwhile, put the remaining tahini in a small bowl and whisk in 60-100ml water (depending on the thickness of the tahini) mixing until smooth and the consistency of double cream. Season with a good pinch of salt and set aside. 3. Remove the chicken from the oven and rest for at least 5 minutes before serving with the tahini sauce, lemon wedges and some hot sauce or chilli, if liked.

CHOCOLATE TAHINI TRAYBAKE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter a 20cm square tin and line with baking parchment. Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, ensuring the bowl doesn't touch the water. Remove from the heat and leave to cool slightly. Or, do this in 20-second bursts in the microwave.
• Mix the flour and baking powder together in a medium bowl, then stir in the walnuts, dried fruit and a pinch of salt. Beat the butter and brown sugar together in a separate bowl until light and fluffy using an electric whisk. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, adding 1 tbsp of the flour mix with each addition to stop the wet ingredients from curdling.
• Beat the cooled melted chocolate into the wet ingredients until fully incorporated. Mix in the tahini, then gently fold in all of the flour mixture, being careful not to knock out the air.
• Tip the batter into the tin, level with a spatula and bake for 30-35 mins, or until set with a definite wobble in the middle. Leave to cool for 20 mins in the tin. Lift out of the tin onto a wire rack using the parchment to help and leave to cool completely (the brownie will firm up as it cools). Cut into 12 squares and serve with ice cream, if you like. Will keep in an airtight container for three days.
