Ingredients
- Chicken Drumstick: 8 chicken drumsticks, skin left on
- Garlic Clove: 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
- Olive Oil: 2 tbsp olive oil
- Onion: 2 onions, very finely chopped
- Chopped Tomato: 400g can chopped tomato
- Parsley: small handful parsley, finely chopped
- Lemon: zest 1 lemon
- Red Lentil: 6 tbsp red lentil
- Chicken Stock Cube: 1 chicken stock cube, crumbled
- Crusty Bread: crusty bread, to serve
Directions
- Heat half the oil in a large flameproof casserole dish, brown the drumsticks on all sides, then transfer to a plate.
- Add the onions and remaining oil to the pan, and cook for 5 mins or so until soft. Add the lentils, tomatoes, 1 can of water and the stock cube. Return the drumsticks to the pan. Bring to the boil, then turn down the heat, put on a lid and simmer for 30 mins or until tender. Keep an eye on the stew and add a little water if it is drying out. Remove the lid and cook for another 10 mins, or until the sauce has thickened, then season.
- Meanwhile, make the gremolata. Mix the lemon zest, garlic and parsley together. Sprinkle over the cooked stew and serve with a chunk of crusty bread.
