Serves: 4
Ingredients:
¼ cup Raw Materials French Style Green Lentils
2Tbspn cracked freekeh wheat
250ml Moredough Kitchens Chicken Stock
2Tbspn Goldi EVO
4 chicken marylands
1 large onion, chopped
1 clove of garlic, crushed
1 large celery stick, diced
125ml Verjus
50g butter
salt & pepper to taste
¼ cup pistachios, roughly chopped
Simmer lentils in MK stock. After 5 minutes add freekeh wheat and cook for a further 15 minutes or until both lentils and freekeh are tender.
Pre heat oven to 200°C.
Heat oil in a heavy based fry pan. A dish that is also oven proof is ideal.
Sear chicken, skin side down first until brown.
Add onion, garlic and celery to the pan and sauté until soft.
Degalze the pan with verjus.
Add the lentils, freekeh and butter.
Cover with a lid or foil and cook for 10 minutes.
Cook for a further 15 -20 minutes until meat juices run clear and the meat is brown. I like to finish with a few minutes under the grill for a delicious golden colour.
Top with pistachios before serving.
