Boost roast chicken with turmeric, lentils, and lemon for added flavor and health benefits.
Ingredients:
  • 3 garlic cloves, chopped, plus 1 whole bulb, extra
  • 4cm-piece fresh ginger, peeled, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 33.60 gm coconut oil or extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 lemons, halved
  • 1 leek, trimmed, sliced
  • 400g Brussels sprouts, halved
  • 305g (1 1/2 cups) Puy-style lentils, rinsed
  • 3 fresh bay leaves
  • 1 cinnamon stick, halved
  • 1.25L (5 cups) chicken style liquid stock
  • 1.7kg whole organic chicken, excess fat trimmed
  • White horseradish (optional), to serve
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced). Blend garlic, ginger, turmeric, 1 tablespoon of oil, and the juice of half a lemon in a small food processor until smooth.
  • In a flameproof baking dish, heat the last tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Cook the leek and sprouts, stirring frequently, for 3-5 minutes until the sprouts take on a slight golden color.
  • Cut the whole garlic bulb in half horizontally. Place the garlic, lentils, bay leaves, cinnamon, and the remaining 3 lemon halves in the dish. Pour the stock over the ingredients.
  • Place a greased trivet over the lentil mixture and position the chicken on top. Spread the turmeric mixture evenly over the chicken.
  • Roast the chicken for 20 minutes at high heat. Lower the temperature and continue baking for 1 hour until the juices run clear when pierced. Let it rest for 10 minutes before serving with horseradish, if desired.
