Ok, what are you having for dinner tonight because I really think you should be making this Tavuklu Patates (Badadez) Kebabı - a chicken, potato and tomato one tray roast which was one of the first recipes I ever posted over a decade ago. Perfect for Friday night, Iftar, Saturday, Sunday, whatever day, my mum would make this for us weekly when I lived at home. My recipe is just a riff on my mum’s method, which is cooked in a variety of ways across Cyprus, but with chicken, potatoes, onions and tomatoes being the key essentials. There’s a version of the recipe on my blog, as well as this version which is in my first cookbook, Meliz’s Kitchen #PleaseMakeIt And don’t forget, as part of #JamieOliversCookbookClub this month, the wonderful team over at @jamieoliver HQ have created a discount code enabling you to order #MelizsKitchen at @waterstones for HALF PRICE (for only £14.00) - just enter CookbookclubMar at the checkout.
