Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu!
This recipe is for Spicy Harissa Drumstick Bake. I made this a few weeks back on a busy weekend, and it was really quick to put together, and then the oven did the rest of the work. The sauce is spicy but by using vegetables such as sweet peppers, butternut squash and red onions, it is calmed down. This recipe is really versatile because you can use any vegetables you have. I think that's what cooking should be - using ingredients you already have!
I would also like to remind you of my other blog - British Muslim Girl. Here, you will find Islamic quotes, stories and reminders. I hope you check it out, inshallah.
