printBtn convertBtn

method


Make this recipe for one in a snug-fitting baking dish or to save on washing-up, a little tinfoil tray.

Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/gas 6. Peel a large handful of potatoes, cut them into 2.5cm/1 inch cubes and put them into a pan of cold, salted water. Bring to the boil, simmer for a few minutes, drain and allow to steam in a colander. Put a heaped teaspoon of turmeric into a bowl and add the zest of 1 lemon, half a teaspoon of ground cumin, 5 sprigs of chopped fresh coriander, a quarter of a red pepper, roughly chopped, and a 2.5cm/1 inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and finely sliced into matchsticks. Cut 3 slices off the lemon and set aside. Squeeze the juice from the remainder of the lemon into the bowl. Shake the potatoes up in the colander and add them to the bowl with 1 chicken breast, skin left on. Toss everything around with a splash of olive oil and season well with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Remove the chicken, put the potatoes into the tray in one layer, and top with the lemon slices and the chicken. Drizzle with olive oil and cook in the middle of the oven for 25 to 35 minutes.

I made this dish last night, followed the recipe to the t but when it came out any moisture in the tray had been absorbed by the potatoes leaving it really dry - it needed something (onions or toms?) to make a sauce - sorry Jamie wont be doing that again!

1/4 of a red pepper? That's not a whole bloody lot! In the picture up top he's certainly used more... I think I'll go with a whole pepper. :)

Sounds yummy & very little effort needed! Go try this out tonight substituting Butternut Squash instead for pots - because I have one begging to be used up!

Message for Zhang

I'm pretty sure that coriander is known in certain countries (I'm thinking of USA in particular), as cilantro.
It looks very similar to flat leaf parsley (not curly parsley), and it is used a lot in indian food, curries etc.

Hope this helps you to identify the right herb for this dish!!

Sorry, but is coriander parsley? Chinese parsley? And does the chopped coriander include the roots too?

In response to a previous comment:
Chefs condense their recipe writing format in order to get right to the point; imagine reading all this irrelevant text as you prepare a meal.
