I love it when I have a discussion with someone and then Poof, something about it shows up in my inbox. Here is a recipe I’m dying to try.
Soul in a bowl / Onion, lemon and gin chicken
Ingredients:
- 1 chicken divided into pieces (or 1.5 kilograms of chicken legs and thighs )
- 1 tbsp. vegetable oil
- 1 onion, peeled and chopped
- juice and grated peel of 1 lemon
- 1/2 cup gin
If you can get them: a tsp. of whole juniper berries (the spice that gives gin its flavor )
Preparation:
Heat the oil in a pot with a heavy bottom and brown the chicken pieces (7-8 minutes on each side ). Add the chopped onion and stir another 2 minutes. Add the lemon juice and grated peel.
If you are using juniper berries, crush them in a mortar and pestle or with a jar and add to the pot.
Cover and cook on a low fire until the chicken is soft (about 1/2 an hour ). If you think the dish is too dry, add not more than 2 or 3 tablespoons of water.
A few minutes before serving, add the gin. Season with pepper and salt.
