Spicy Fried Chicken wings

I made this with my girl when I was stressed out in my sales job so I went outside Nairobi to think and got an email from my current job that they need me to start at the soonest.  I had to celebrate so I bought chicken wings and made foodgasmic Spicy chicken Wings.

Ingredients:
12 pieces of chicken wings
2 large onions
2 large tomatoes
1 medium sized bell pepper (red)
1tsp of ginger
1tsp of garlic
1tsp of a mixture of fresh powdered cumin,cardamon,cayenne pepper,black pepper
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp of olive oil

Let's cook

In a bowl,  mix the garlic, ginger and the rest of the spices.  Add the chicken wings,  lemon juice and olive oil. 
Mix well and let it marinate for 2 hours.

Separate the chicken from the marinate juice and deep fry until brown.

Fry the onions until light brown,  add chopped tomatoes and stir.  When the tomatoes have softened, add the marinate juice and let it cook for 5 Min in low heat.

Add the chicken wings with the sliced bell pepper and cayenne. Stir and serve after 3 mins.

Serve with ugali and steamed cabbage.

Roasted Butternut Soup (serves 6)

Many ways to make butternut soup but I like mine with a little bang, so I roast my butternut before I make the soup.

Ingredients
- 3 medium sized butternut
- 2 medium sized red onion (thickly sliced)
- 1/2 cup of chopped onion leaves
- 1 tbsp grated garlic

Heat the oven at 180• C. Peel the butternut and cut into cubes. In a baking pan,  mix the butternut and the rest of the ingredients with olive oil or a drizzle of vegetable oil. Add salt and put in the oven for half an hour.

After 15 mins,  turn the butternut and let it roast for another 15 mins.

When well roasted,  remove from oven and place in a blender or food processor with warm water and blend.

You can sieve the mixture for a smooth texture but I like my butternut with a rough texture.

Place in a pan to heat, add cream and parsley leaves for garnish.

You can add potatoes and carrots while roasting the butternut.

Serve with toasted bread.
