SERVE WITH...

  • Mango Chutney
  • Lemon wedges
  • Fresh coriander
  • Flaked toasted almonds
  • Fresh tenderstem or broccoli

EXTRA TIPS...

  • The flavours improve in time, so if you can, slow cook this in the oven or save some for leftovers for lunch/ dinner to enjoy over the next day or so.
  • Can be made with chicken pieces on the bone (cook for 60 minutes), if you’d prefer.
  • Always brown the meat first in the pan and set aside to add to the onion and spice mix later to increase flavour.
  • Simply leave out the meat for a vegetarian/vegan option and add more of your favourite veggies.
