One chicken - many meals
 |
| Cooking with what is in season |
My family and my Super Girl friends have asked me for this recipe so many times...
here it is. Keep it simple or make it as exotic as your pantry allows.
The principle is to take one good local chook and what's lying around in your fridge to make a broth, while you poach the bird.
Day 1 - Have the broth and meat one night.
Day 2 - Add some fresh saute greens to the bowl and pour the broth over the top.
Day 3 - Add some black lentils & herbs to the tasty reduction.
This idea is so versatile:
You can remove the bird when it is cooked and serve it with pulses & vegetables
or add the meat back to the pot for chicken soup.
Or make a Poached chicken salad, shred the poached meat, toss with chopped picked walnuts, endive, olive oil, lemon and seasoning.
The next day try adding some lentils or rice to the broth and some fresh saute greens.
