Curried Lentil And Grilled Chicken Casserole Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or broiler. Brush the chicken with one tablespoon of the oil and sear the chicken, turning it once, until it is brown and just cooked through, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile heat the remaining oil in a large, heavy ovenproof casserole. Add the onion, sweet and hot peppers, garlic and ginger and saute until lightly browned. Stir in the cumin. Pare or cut the cooked chicken into chunks and add to the casserole.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Stir in the broth. Pick over the lentlis and add them. Bring to a simmer, cover and bake for about 30 minutes, until the lentils are tender. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with yogurt on the side.

Steps:

• Heat the ghee in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
• Add the garlic, serrano peppers, fennel seeds & cumin seeds. Cook for a further 2-3 minutes, while stirring, until the seeds are slightly toasted and fragrant.
• Add the ginger, curry powder, turmeric, garam masala, black pepper & salt. Saute for just about a minute.
• Add the chicken to the pot and brown a bit, until no longer pink, for about 5 minutes.
• Finally, stir in lentils, tomato sauce, chicken broth, and spinach. Bring to a boil, then lower heat & simmer while covered for 45 minutes. Stir every 15 minutes or so, and add water if mixture gets a bit too dry.
• Once the lentils are cooked, the curry is done. Remove from heat, and stir in yogurt. When serving, top with parsley and eggs.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a non-stick wide, shallow pan, add bacon and fry briskly until lightly coloured, then lift on to a plate. Add the chicken and fry on each side until lightly brown.

Add the wine, stock, lentils and thyme. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Stir in the mushrooms. Add the bacon and chicken, pushing them under the liquid. Cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until lentils are tender and the chicken cooked. Season with salt and pepper.
