Jamelia challenged Gordon to a spicy chicken soup cook-off when she came into the F Word kitchen
Serves 4
1. Wash the chicken pieces, burn off any feathers and rinse in malt vinegar. Rinse again in water and pat dry. Tip the chicken pieces into a freezer bag and add all the powdered spices. Add the ketchup and sugar and pour in the garlic infused olive oil and Worcestershire sauce. Grind in some fresh pepper then close the bag and massage the flavours into the chicken. Leave to marinate for as long as possible - minimum 20 minutes.
2. Heat a little garlic infused oil in a wok and quickly brown off the chicken pieces.
3. Bring a large pot of water to the boil. Add an extra pinch of all the powdered spices, a few sprigs of thyme, the chopped onion and a crumbled stock cube. Place the browned chicken pieces into the water and allow to simmer gently for 15 minutes.
4. Make up the dumplings by mixing the plain flour and cornmeal together, add a little water and salt and make up a strong dough. Knead for either 10 minutes by hand, or 5 minutes if using a mixer. Pull off little pieces and shape into flat circular discs about 1 inch thick.
5. Add the dumplings to the soup mix and cook for 10 minutes before adding the maris piper potatoes and pumpkin.
6. Slice the green bananas in half and boil in a separate pan of water until the skin turns black. Rinse in cold water and slice the bananas into quarters before adding to the soup and cooking for 10 - 15 minutes.
7. Add the sweet potato and cook for a further 15 minutes.
8. Five minutes before the end of cooking add the cock flavour soup and allow to infuse. Serve in warm deep bowls.
