Pimp my piri piri poussin by Eat Like a Girl

Pimp my piri piri poussin by Eat Like a Girl

A delicious, exotic dish made all the more delicious with a sprinkling of oregano before serving.

  • Serves: 4

What you need:

  • 2 x poussin, spatchcocked
  • 90g unearthed Nduja sausage
  • 1 good tomato, peeled, deseeded & diced
  • 1 tbsp fresh chopped oregano leaves + some for serving
  • 2 tbsp good red wine vinegar

What you do:

  1. Peel the tomatoes by carving a cross in the base through the skin and submerging in boiling water for 15 - 30 seconds, until the skin starts to peel away. Remove the seeds and chop into fine dice.
  2. Saute over a low to medium heat for about 10 minutes until the tomato softens. Add the unearthed Nduja and stir until dissolved through. Add the vinegar and oregano.
  3. Allow to cool and spread over the skin of the poussins. Massage into the skin and leave to marinade in the fridge for 2 to 4 hours or overnight if you have time.
  4. Preheat your oven to 200C.
  5. Roast the poussins for 35 - 40 minutes checking on them and basting them halfway though. The sausage can get a bit crispy but basting prevents this.

Cook's tip:

Serve with some fresh oregano sprinkled on top, and enjoy, they're delicious!
