Here are two very easy but delicious ways to cook chicken.Free range chicken will make it even more special.
Chicken with Tomatoes & Honey
1 large chicken quartered 2 tab oil 1 large onion grated 1 kg tomatoes peeled and chopped ½ tsp ground ginger 1 tsp cinnamon ½ tsp saffron crushed 2 tab honey 50g blanched almonds coarsely chopped 1 tab sesame seeds salt & pepper 1 tab oil
Put all ingredients except honey, almonds & sesame into large pot, cover and cook about 60 min until very tender. Remove chicken, reduce sauce until thick.Add honey, return chicken. Fry almonds in oil, add sesame, cook until lightly coloured.Sprinkle over chicken. .- .- .
Chicken with Pickled Lemons and Olives
1 large chicken quartered 3 tab olive oil 1 large onion grated 3 cloves garlic crushed ¼ tsp saffron crushed ¾ tsp ground ginger 1 ½ tsp cinnamon 1 ½ large pickled lemons rinsed and cut into thin strips 15 green or violet olives soaked in water 30 min and drained
