Equipment

  • Bowl
  • Deep roasting tin

Ingredients

  • 2 onions sliced
  • 8 garlic cloves peeled but left whole
  • 4 large chicken legs
  • 1 large sweet potato cut into large chunks
  • 300 g cauliflower florets
  • 2 lemons sliced

For the marinade:

  • 200 ml vegetable stock
  • Finely grated zest of 3 lemons
  • 3 tbsp lemon juice
  • 3 garlic cloves peeled and crushed
  • 3 tbsp harissa plus extra to serve
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp fresh coriander finely chopped
  • 1/4 tsp salt, or more to taste

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan), Gas Mark 6.
  • Mix all the marinade ingredients together in a bowl.
  • Spread the onions out in a deep roasting tin and scatter the garlic cloves all over. Place the chicken legs, skin-side up, on top with the sweet potato chunks and cauliflower florets. Pour over the marinade and turn the chicken legs several times to ensure that they are fully coated with the marinade. Top the whole dish with the lemon slices.
  • Bake for about one hour or until the chicken is golden and cooked through. Serve the chicken and vegetables immediately with extra harissa.
