  7. 200g tomatoes, sliced
  8. 2 red peppers, deseeded and chopped

  10. Juice of 1 lemon
  • Whiz the garlic, two-thirds of the basil, mint and four thyme sprigs in a food processor, adding half the oil gradually until the mixture forms a thick paste.
  • Rub the paste over the chicken legs, put it into a bowl, cover and leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
