Instructions

1 ✓

Joint the chicken, place in a saucepan, cover with water, season with salt and pepper, and boil until tender (approx. 40 mins). Remove the meat, keep the stock.

Tip: Skim the foam off the top during cooking to get a clean-tasting stock.
2 ✓

Grind the walnuts finely. Chop the onion and garlic finely.

Tip: The oil content of the walnuts gives the sauce creaminess without cream or flour.
3 ✓

Sauté the onion and garlic in oil in a frying pan.

Tip: The sweetness of the translucent onion lays the foundation for the sauce.
4 ✓

Add the ground walnuts, pomegranate juice and enough stock (from the chicken) to get a thick sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes.

Tip: The acidity of the pomegranate and lemon juice brightens the flavours and cuts through the richness of the walnuts.
5 ✓

Place the cooked chicken pieces on a platter, pour over the hot walnut sauce.

Tip: The pores of the warm meat are open, absorbing the sauce better.
6 ✓

Sprinkle the top with fresh, chopped coriander and chilli rings.

Tip: The capsaicin content (heat) of the chilli stimulates blood circulation and enhances taste perception.
