RECIPE TIME - YUMMY SUNDAY LUNCH

                                      ROAST CHICKEN
 ROAST POTATOES
 HUBBARD SQUASH FRITTERS
 MIX OF   SPINACH,  ONION,  +  POTATO

Preparation time - 2 hours

ROAST CHICKEN

Rinse the chicken in cold water, place in roasting dish or pan, large enough to accommodate  potatoes as well.





Liberally dust with Robertson's chicken spice, turn over and dust again.

Place in oven at 170 degrees
with the back of the chicken
facing upwards and roast for 30 minutes. Turn the chicken over. Chicken will now be chest side up.  Roast for a further 60 minutes.  This will ensure a nice crisp skin.

While the chicken is roasting, in the first half hour,  (you can also do this before you start the chicken)  wash and slice the potatoes, preferably leave the skin on (I only use 2 potatoes, thus the size of my dish). 

At this stage, also prepare the hubbard squash - enough for approximately 2 cups of cooked squash. Or double the mix depending on the amount you need. 2 cups squash makes approx 12 fritters.  
                                         
 Steam the potatoes and the      hubbard squash for 15 -20        minutes, if using a steamer.
If using the microwave oven, do them separately, but do the potatoes first, so that you can get them into the oven asap.

As soon as the potatoes are steamed place them in a single layer in the dish with the chicken and allow to roast until chicken is done.




Remove chicken from the oven and turn up heat and allow potatoes to roast for a further 30 minutes or until lightly browned and crisp.

SPINACH MIX     -    steam the prepared spinach once you have removed the chicken  from the oven.   This gives you 30 minutes before spinach is needed.

1 bunch spinach (stalks removed)
and sliced thinly(I use a kitchen scissors)

1 onion (chopped)
1 potato (cut into small pieces)
Place in steamer and steam for 15-20 minutes. When done add salt, pepper and butter and mash and mix.




While spinach is steaming, your hubbard  squash will be cool enough to prepare the fritters, using the same recipe I published on 2nd May for Pumpkin fritters. Just add an extra egg to the mixture.  

Enjoy.
