Quick notes / order

the stove to simmer.

2. Prep the chicken.
Get that on the go next.

3. Cavolo nero next.

the microwave.
(uW for short)

5. Blend the sauce & assemble!!























ingredients (serves 2 - hungry people)
for the red pepper sauce
1 red pepper (cored & diced)
1 red onion (chopped)
30g goats cheese (rindless)
1 chicken stock cube
10g red wine vinegar
350ml water
~
Put all the ingredient except the goats cheese in a sauce pan, bring to the boil, then simmer for 45mins.
(Crack on w/ the chicken in the mean time . . )
Once the pepper is soft, blend it with a stick blender until smooth then add the goats cheese, and pulse until fully incorporated.
Leave the sauce on minimum heat to keep warm until needed. (If you’re feeling naughty & luxurious, add a little butter too!)


for the chicken
4 chicken thighs (skinless & boneless)
zest 1/2 lemon
1tbsp veg oil
~
Pat the thighs dry and remove any excess fat.
Put them in a tupperware box, and add the oil, mix to coat the thighs
Season them and them place them in a hot frying pan - they should sizzle.
Turn the heat down and leave them to brown. (get on w/ veg - steam the Cavolo nero)
Once browned turn them over and top w/ the lemon zest. (get on w/ the potatoes)
Once the other side is done keep warm on a saucer. (or in the finished sauce)
Use the pan to finish the cavolo nero.
(Tip if you’re cooking with the skin on cook almost entirely skin side down - for ultra crispiness - then finish off the other side for a minute or two.)


for the cavolo nero
10g butter
2 spring onions (chopped)
100g cavolo nero (black kale, 1cm slices)
1/2 lemon (juiced)

Add the drained steamed kale, season, squeaze the juice in from the half lemon and toss.
