Well, what a reception this meal got!! 10/10 for the chicken and 9/10 for the pud. Now, it says feeds four, however I just added extra thigh cutlets and it worked great.
There is a little bit of prep for this to taste fab because you must marinate the chook the day before but then the actual cooking is no biggy – so go to the effort. It is (as the book says) not necessarily an attractive looking dish on the plate but I guess that gives it that sort of homely mushy appeal. (The look on MAV’s face when he saw it was priceless). There is a real moroccan taste and smell to it with a sweetness from the pumpkin. I served it with a little rice and a simple capresi salad, which was light and fresh with the stronger flavours of the chook.
Dessert I thought was going to be a disaster because I accidentally mixed in the flour with the butter and sugar which should have been beaten first but I thought what the hell I am not starting again. Anyway, it was great and fluffy and light, so go figure!
All in all a great meal! Enjoy!
From my table to yours with love.
