sticky chicken drumsticks with mango salad,

Recipe for drumsticks originally comes from Super Food Ideas, January 2007.

Sticky Orange Drumsticks

Ingredients:

2/3 cup orange marmalade (I like Rose's Blood Orange. its GF and yummeh)

2 teaspoons Dijon Mustard ( I use Maille, its GF)

1/4 cup GF chicken stock (to be sure, make your own. its simple)

1 crushed garlic clove (or 1 tspn minced garlic from jar)

8 chicken drumsticks.

olive oil spray

side of choice ( I made mango salad. recipe to follow)

Method:

1/ place marmalade, mustard, stock and garlic in a bowl and stir with fork to combine.

2/ pour into a large marinating dish, and then add chicken in a layer. Turn to coat. cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight. turn once (or twice....)

3/ Preheat oven to 220 ( i use 240 with gas). Line a large baking tray with baking paper. Spray a wire rack with oil and place over the baking paper.

4/ place drumsticks on the rack. If you use a marmalade with lots of zesty bits, i like to try to pick some out with a spoon and stick a bit between the skin and the chicken. it just infuses the chicken a little more and makes it extra yummeh!

5/Roast, brushing ocasionally with marinade for 25-30 mins (i usually put them in for 45), or until juices run clear.

6/ serve with side

nb. you can use any jam that goes with mustard for this recipe for different flavours

     I also like to use chicken thighs on the bone with this recipe, but kids tend to prefer the drumsticks cos they can pick the bone up and chew around the bone!

Mango Salad

Ingredients:

Cos Lettuce

1 Mango

1 capsicum

1/2 Lime

1 tbspn GF Fat free Mayonaisse.

Method:

1/ wash lettuce leaves, tear and throw into bowl

2/ add Mayo and juice of half lime.

3/ cube Mango and throw into bowl

4/ deseed and chop capsicum, toss into bowl

5/ Toss salad well so that mayo and lime juice cover the salad, and serve.

sorry i suck at photographing food. I assure you its yummy!

Yummy Gluten Free Pizza

Please Forgive no photo, I will add one shortly. the thing with Pizza is you can do anything, but here is my fave recipie. I have modified it from a pizza i once had in Queenstown at Winniebagos.

Ingredients:

Gluten Free Pizza Base ( I use Freedom wraps)

Pesto ( I use copperpot spinach dip. i think its copperpot, its GF anyway. i always check the lid to be sure, as it says so. you could also use basil, rocket or any of your choosing!)

Roast Pumpkin Pieces

Parmesan cheese

Baby Spinach

Pine nuts

Olive oil

Optional - roast chicken, pancetta. ensure they are GF.

Method:

1/ Preheat Oven to 180 or 200

2/ Cut pumpkin into small thin pieces, about 2 cm by 1 cm and roast for about 10 mins, or until cooked (dont overcook)

3/heat 1 tspn olive oil (or less) in small fry pan and lightly cook the pine nuts, tossing so they dont burn

3/ Put base on a tray. (depending on tray, you may need to line it)

4/ Spread pesto over base.

5/ Sprinkle small amount of  Parmesan over base

6/ Lightly tear baby spinach and place over base; then pumpkin, meat, and pinenuts (if you dont want the meat, then leave off). Remember not to overload the base. GF bases are thin, and less is more.

7/ Sprinkle a little more parmesan on top, then put in the oven for 10=20 mins, depending on your ovens cooking time (i use 20 as mine is a slow oven)

8/ Remove, slice and eat!

nb. For a dairy free option, omit the cheese, and check the ingredients. You can also use feta and kalamata olives on this pizza in place of the parmesan.
