Method
Preheat the oven to 180°C and have a large roasting dish ready to put this beautiful thing together.
Pour a generous drizzle of oil into the base of the dish and now it’s time to get it all in. Add the garlic, red onion, aubergine, chickpeas and lemon slices.
Using a pestle and mortar, lightly crush the coriander and cumin seeds. Add with the salt, paprika, turmeric and the chicken drumsticks. Get your hands in and give everything a really good mix around so it’s all coated.
Pop into the oven for 45 minutes till the chicken is cooked and the vegetables are tender.
To serve, sprinkle over the chopped coriander and drizzle over the tahini and chilli oil. It is now ready to take to the middle of the table.
TIP: Never throw away the liquid from chickpea water– you can make great vegan meringues with it!
