    SERVES 3 -4….

    2 lbs potatoes, suitable for roasting….

    For the spice paste….
    4 fresh garlic cloves….

    1 teaspoon ground cumin….

    1/2 teaspoon salt….

    1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper (not ground)….

    2 teaspoons lemon juice….

    4 teaspoons olive oil….

    Mince/crush the garlic and set aside in a bowl…..

    Add the other spice paste ingredients and mix…..

    Cover and leave for at least an hour before using, for the flavors to blend…..

    After 30 minutes, preheat the oven to 300°F or 150°C (this is the temperature I use although my oven is fan-assisted so if yours is not, you may wish to use a slightly higher temperature)…..

    Peel and quarter the potatoes (cut larger potatoes into smaller chunks)…..

    Simmer them in a pan of boiling water for 5-6 minutes…..

    Drain the potatoes and gently shake them in the pan to roughen the edges (this produces crispy roasties!)…..

    Put the potatoes in a roasting tray. Add the spice paste and toss to coat the potatoes completely…..

    Bake for 30 minutes, or until done, turning halfway through cooking…..

    Serve hot!

  2. I want to see how I could grab your rss feed to keep updated of any new posts on your blog, but I wasnt able to find it, How can I do this?

  3. What I really like about blog posts is the fact that they trigger a thought in my brain. When that happens, I feel as I need to respond hoping it is interesting to other people. As there are numerous personal blogs with totally different points of view, they challenge your understanding. It is at these moments when you have significant insignt the rest might not have had, which include the blogger him/herself. I find myself returning to your web-site because you have lots of terrific insights and you are already at this a very long time, that’s very impressive and tells me you know your stuff. Keep provoking imagination in other people!
