This traditional recipe for Soweto Chicken should be served with pap and relish.

Ingredients

1 whole chicken
2 medium or 3 small onions, sliced into rings
1 can of chunky tinned tomatoes
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
2 teaspoons (10 ml) cinnamon
1 teaspoon (5 ml) turmeric
1 whole red chilli pod, fresh or dried
1 teaspoon (5 ml) mild curry powder
Freshly grounded black pepper
Salt

Directions

Add crushed garlic to the canned tomatoes and pour into an ovenproof casserole dish.

Rinse chicken under cold water and pat dry with kitchen paper.

Combine spices, salt and pepper and rub into chicken.

Place chicken in the casserole dish and arrange onion on top.

For a very mild dish, simply slip the chilli pod into the side of the casserole and remove it before serving. If you prefer your chicken hot, slice the chilli along its length, remove the pips, chop, and scatter over the chicken.

Cover the casserole dish and pop it into the oven.
Set the temperature to 180C and cook for 1.5 hours if it's a small chicken, or 2 hours for a large one.
