INVITATION

Qiu Minye (b. 1978, China) - My God (2013)

Qiu Minye has found a new way of recording time by removing the identity of an image and creating the exquisite shape, life and texture. The object is floating lightly in a soft space like a song. It equals to the existence itself, which makes us sigh for the nature and thus feel the gratitude to the artist for giving us the opportunity to experience the nature.

Nandos is easy, cheap and so much better when you make it at home. The hardest part (grossest part) is spatchcocking the chicken, but BBC Good Food has a great video to show you exactly how to do it. As with many chicken recipes, marinade this ideally overnight but a few hours will do too.

First I’ll tell you how to make the chicken, then the chips, then the peas.

Nandos Spatchcock Chicken

You’ll need to buy a whole chicken. Mine was £4. For a video of how to spatchcock, click here: http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/videos/1041/spatchcocking-a-chicken

To marinade the chicken, put the following in a food processor and rub it all over the skin:

4 red chillies, deseeded unless you like it really spicy - 50p

3 garlic cloves, finely chopped - 27p for a bulb

2 tsp paprika - 58p

2 tbsp red wine vinegar - 80p for a bottle

2 tbsp olive oil (you should have this in the cupboard at all times)

2tbsp chopped parsley (I used flat leaf) - 65p

Cover the chicken in the marinade, place on the tray you’re cooking it on and cover with cling film and pop in the fridge until you’re ready for it. It will take 40mins in the oven at 180 fan/200

Nandos Peri Peri Chips

1 baking potato per person -90p for 4

1 tbsp olive oil per person (again, get it out the cupboard)

Nandos Peri Peri Salt - £1.98 for a good sized bottle

Cut the potatoes roughly into chip-sized chunks (I like the skins on, but remove if you like) and cover with the oil and a little salt. Put in the oven at the same temp as the chicken and for the same time, turning half way through. Perfect timing huh? Sprinkle with Nandos peri peri salt to taste and you’re done!

Nandos Macho Peas

Probably the only thing I actually go to nandos for is the peas. And I just made them at home and found how easy they were! And healthy too!

You will need:

150-200g peas per person - £1.11 for 1kg

1/2 tsp chilli flakes (dried chilli) per person - 71p

1 garlic clove, finely chopped, each

salt, to taste

Mint - a few leaves if you like it. Nandos use it but I didn’t and it was still amazing.

Cook the peas according to pack instructions and drain. Take half the peas and mash well (use a food processor, blender, masher, liquidiser - whatever you have!)

Mix in the chilli, garlic and salt and the whole peas (and mint if using)

Done! it really as easy as that! Allow around 10 mins for this stage.

Just a word of advice on spice - I made this (de-seeded chillies) to the letter and my boyfriend who gets PLAIN at Nandos could handle it, so turn up the heat by using the seeds in the chillies if you like more of a kick.

Cost to feed 4: £10.92

Cost per meal: £2.73
