How to cook deliciously - Chicken & lentil stew with gremolata
1. Stage
Heat half the oil in a large flameproof casserole dish, brown the drumsticks on all sides, then transfer to a plate.
2. Stage
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.
