If cooking is new to you or something that you find a challenge, then Moroccan recipes are the best place to start. Often dubbed Indian for beginners, Moroccan flavours and techniques are simple and uncomplicated. Please remember - spices lose their potency. Buy them fresh and buy them often, preferably from specialty stores and you will taste the difference.

2 tsp paprika
2 tsp ground ginger
0.5 tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp ground coriander
3 tbsp olive oil

Step-by-step

Combine the paprika, ginger, turmeric, coriander, olive oil and lemon juice in a small bowl. Put the chicken in a flat ceramic dish and pour over the marinade.
Turn the chicken over a few times to coat in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight, turning the chicken every now and then.
Remove the chicken from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking.
Preheat the barbecue hotplate to high. Put the thighs on the hotplate, sprinkle over some sea salt, and cook for 8 minutes, without moving them. Turn over and cook for another 4-5 minutes, until golden, aromatic and cooked through.
Rest for a few minutes before serving.
