4 chicken thighs2 carrots, cut into thick matchsticks
2 shallots, finely sliced
1 head garlic (from the terrace!)
Lots of dill, thyme, parsley
8 lemon or lime slices
Juice of 1 lemon or lime
Salt, pepper
In a pot that has a lid, put the thighs, and cover with lemon slices, carrots and shallot. Lay herbs on top. Squeeze juice over. Season well. Just cover chicken with water, bring to a simmer, and cook till the sauce is creamy-looking and the chicken very tender. About an hour. Remove lid and reduce sauce a little. Serve chicken on a bed of nutty-tasting basmati rice, and serve sauce in separate bowl or jug, and spoon over each helping.
This is a dish pale in appearance, saturated with flavour, and very good cold, for picnics.
Green salad, icy white New Zealand Sauvignon blanc...husband.
And cat...
Is cat sitting on dish?
ReplyDeleteLisa, cat is on a plexiglass disc, same as seats for chairs. He hates gravel.
ReplyDeleteCat sits on plexi like alien on flying saucer. The gravel might as well be ardent coals...
