Bacon, trimmed and all fat removed
Carrots
Celery
Onion
Garlic
Courgettes
Mushrooms
Yellow pepper
Bay leaves
Thyme

To serve - either make a salad with rocket, cucumber, tomato, etc, or - as we are going to - sprinkle the rocket over as you dish up and eat it with.
Brown off the chicken and bacon in low-cal cooking spray, and add the celery, carrots, onion, garlic and bay leaves. Allow to cook through until softened and golden, and then add the mushrooms, courgette and peppers. Allow to soften slightly before adding the rosemary, thyme and black pepper. When everything is as you want it, add puy lentils and enough chicken stock to cook them through, turn down to a simmer, and cover. Serve when the lentils are cooked through and tender, as above!

Oh goodness this sounds gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteGah - meant to add, I have pointed my ma, Linda, at your blog for inspiration. :) Because it is very, very inspiring.
ReplyDeleteAw bless you - thank you, on both counts! :) And it's really lovely. I think you have to use the thighs for it to come out really tasty though. X
ReplyDeleteThe thigh meat is my favourite, sadly the Boys say no. Well, two of them do. *thinks*
ReplyDeleteIt has taken me a while to come to it actually - I think it was Jackie (Chris's mom)'s casserole the other weekend that was the turning point; I'd been sort of conditioned out of it becuase of WW I think! (Not that that's a bad thing if that's what you're doing, of course.)
