A warm chicken and orange salad adulterated from Nigel Slater Guardian.co.uk
Serves 4 fashionista or 24 models as a main course
You need:
a freshly roasted chicken, about 1.5kg
4 handfuls of salad leaves, such as chicory and watercress
3 blood oranges
1 pomegranate
For the dressing:
2 tbsp tarragon or cider vinegar
1-2 drops of balsamic vinegar
The juices from the roasting tin (about 6 tbsp)
- Open wine
- Drink!
- Slip into Gucci mini dress and Givenchy heels
- Find the roast chicken.
- Ask George Clooney to remove about half the meat from in thick pieces, cutting or tearing them into large bite-sized chunks.
- He is good at that.
- Throw in a mixing bowl.The chicken not George.
- You can rinse and dry the salad leaves, then divide them between 4 plates.
- Peel two of the oranges with a knife and squeeze the juice from the third.
- Slice the fruit thinly and tuck among the salad leaves.
- Cut the pomegranate in half, remove the seeds from one half and add to the salad leaves, then squeeze and reserve the juice from the remaining half using a lemon squeezer.
- To make the dressing, mix 5 tbsp of the orange juice with 4 tbsp of the pomegranate (I usually drink the remainder).
- Stir in the cider or tarragon vinegar, a little salt, a twist of black pepper and a couple of drops of balsamic vinegar.
- Pour into the roasting tin, stir with the roasting juices, and heat gently without bringing to the boil.
- Place the pieces of warm chicken among the salad then spoon over the hot dressing.
