Ingredients
 

  • 2 Chicken legs
  • 2 Chicken drumsticks
  • 100 g Butter
  • 1 Garlic clove, finely grated
  • 1 tbsp Fresh lime zest
  • 1 sprig Thyme, the plucked leaves
  • 4 tbsp Sesame
  • 3 medium Tomatoes
  • 1 small Zucchini
  • 2 Red Paprika
  • 2 Cloves of garlic, sliced
  • 2 whole Sprigs of thyme
  • Salt
  • Black pepper from the mill
  • Olive oil
  • Raw cane sugar

Instructions
 

  • First, the sesame is roasted in a pan without fat and then immediately placed in a bowl so that it can cool down well. Put the softened butter in a bowl, add the grated garlic and the thyme leaves and the lime zest, season with salt and pepper. Now add the toasted sesame seeds and mix well.
  • Brush an ovenproof dish thinly with olive oil. Quarter the tomatoes, remove the stalk and then cut the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces and distribute them in the form. Sprinkle two pinches (a pinch is what fits between 2 fingers) raw cane sugar over the tomatoes and a little salt and pepper.
  • Halve and slice the zucchino and spread over the tomatoes. Remove the core from the peppers, peel them with the peeler and then cut into bite-sized pieces and spread over the tomatoes and courgettes. Add the garlic slices, a little more salt and pepper and then mix well in the form, add the thyme sprigs.
  • Now loosen the skin from the chicken parts with your finger at one point and loosen the skin from the meat over a large area, but in such a way that - except for this one point - it still holds the meat at the edge. Now spread some of the sesame butter under the skin, place the chicken pieces on the vegetables and brush with the remaining butter.
  • Now put everything in the oven preheated to 180 degrees for approx. 40 - 50 minutes. We got a simit today.
