I remembered the rotisserie function on my ovens earlier and got to thinking about what I could use it for.

Chicken thigh schwarma kebabs with a lime and chilli mayo with grated carrot and chopped lettuce.

Looks amazing. I'm surprised you ever order takeaway.

I think we might have the same oven. I use ours occasionally. It's great.

Of course. Now when I say schwarma I probably meant schawarma, I'm not sure. And also this isn't a classic recipe by any stretch. More a "what have we got that tastes good with chicken" type thought process.

Rubber up. Gloves obviously. Remove skin and bones from 8 thighs (or more, but no less). Trim excess fat.

In a bowl you'll need about 100ml olive oil, and to taste of the following, but be generous as some gets lost in the cooking process.

Salt
Pepper
Mustard powder
Garlic granules
Fennel seeds
Onion granules
Red pesto
Tomato purée
Chilli powder
Juice of at least half a lemon
A little sugar or honey

It should taste tart, salty, spicy, savoury.

Mix it and marinate thighs for as long as you have. Thread them on to a skewer/s and cook semi-direct i.e.grill/rotisserie setting but on the middle shelf, turning as required.

Thigh is forgiving as it doesn't dry out easily.

Rest for five mins and then slice and serve to your liking with a chilli lime mayonnaise which you can make up to your spec.

Here's my 23 month old doing ours earlier today - proof anyone can knock this up in a jiffy!

Mine are Gorenje. Two full size. One pyrolitic with rotisserie, the other with sliding shelves. Both look identical so I was able to buy both for the different features.

What do you have?

Thanks JK - and for your previous comments. You're obviously a big foodie and like myself, appreciate the filth just as much as the fine.

I need some Lobster crisps. Now!

Pferdestarke I'm amazed you got that I'm a big foodie from my post but you are bang on the money. How on earth did you know that? I'm intrigued?

Oh and yes the crisps are great but from that post the real star is the wine I think. Personally I would say it's the best value wine on the market

While I think about it I've got a few other pics to post from dinners eaten over the last week

Chilli prawn linguine



Beef casserole



And finally the car crash. It's skinless boneless cod with pesto and sundried tomato on pesto mash with watercress sauce but I screwed up in my vision with the mash and sauce being the same colour but it tasted amazing.

I made a Red Thai Curry last night, and it wasn't half bad.

That looks lovely, what paste did you use? I've found them a bit hit and miss. Homemade ones are great but sometimes the ease of a ready bought one is what a mid week dinner needs!

No idea, sorry. It was a small flat packet that was brought back from 'actual Thailand' for me by a friend.

That looks fantastic Pferde, almost tempted to get the BBQ out and use the rotisserie on that.

I got around to cooking the Lidl lobster last night.

As others have said, it isn't that great. It was very watery, ant the tail meat was tough. There wasn't much taste either.

We won't be buying this again.

Does anyone know if their lobster tails are any better?

Haha, that might be a bit far to travel just for some paste

[ApOrbital]

Adachin could visit Bangkok and get a rucksack fill it up with food.

[Blown2CV]

Or just go to a Thai/Asian supermarket... Or look on Amazon groceries!

[Adenauer]

Jay wants it, not me, you pair of nincompoops.
