Food - Recipes : Scones. Nigel Slater's baked chicken and lazy summer pudding recipes. One-dish wonder: Nigel Slater's baked chicken with summer vegetables. Photograph: Jonathan Lovekin for the Observer Sometimes I want to make a fuss over guests, ponder and plan what they might eat, consider their likes and dislikes and every whim. Other times I just want to chuck something in the oven for them, almost impromptu.
This week, guests arrived with virtually no warning at all. I rubbed a load of chicken pieces, mostly brown meat, such as thighs and drumsticks, with a commercial peri-peri seasoning, and baked them on top of summer vegetables in a roasting tin. The juices from the chicken, spiced with chillies, sweet paprika and lime juice, ran down into the vegetables and mingled with the olive oil in the pan.
What the presentation lacked in finesse, the dish made up for in flavour. Of course, there were other qualities, too, like the ease of slicing a few veg and seasoning some chicken pieces, but there was also the fact that for once I used a commercial seasoning mix. Fruit Pastry Cake. I have to thank my friend VB for recommending this Fruit Pastry Cake. This cake was very popular among local bloggers sometime back.
I told her I would probably give it a try when she first made this cake. Almost two years down the road, and I totally forgot about it until I saw her photo of this same cake recently. With fruits piling over a thick layer of beautiful golden crumbs that comes with a nicely browned crust, how can anyone not fall in love with it?! Since I would be meeting VB's friend to collect a cookbook from her, I thought it would be an excellent idea to make this cake for her. Since this would be the first time I am making this cake, I baked one to test it out. This is how the cake looked like after baking.
The recommended pan size for this cake is either a 9" round pan, or an 8" square pan or a 7x11" pan. After checking with VB, who follows the original recipe to a T, I was slightly convinced that I could increase the amount of sugar.
