WITH LEMON SAUCE
Ingredients
●
1 kilogram of chicken baguette
●
Lemon juice and grated lemon
peel
●
1 sliced lemon
●
1 spoon of
turmeric
●
2 to 3 heads of fresh
garlic
●
Single truss tomatoes
●
4 table spoons of olive oil
●
2 to 3 sticks of fresh asparagus
●
2 tablespoons of brown or
white granulated sugar
●
A few springs of thyme
●
Fresh
ginger in the size of one walnut
●
1 tablespoon of fresh peas
●
Freshly ground black pepper
●
Salt
Preparation
Boil chicken meat in water for
10 minutes. Drain the meat and
save one cup of chicken broth.
Mix chicken broth with turmeric,
lemon juice, sugar, 3 tablespoons
of olive oil, salt, freshly ground
black pepper and a few springs of
chopped thyme in a container.
Cover boiled chicken baguettes
with this mixture and place
them on a baking tray. Mix truss
tomatoes, diagonally cut fresh
asparaguses, chopped fresh
ginger, grated lemon peels,
sliced lemons, fresh garlic and
peas with the remaining olive oil.
Place vegetables on the baking
tray. Bake until chicken becomes
brown in an oven, which has been
preheated at 180 ˚C.
Advice: Chicken goes well with
rice pilaf, while rice pilaf goes well
with lemon. If you wish, you can
add grated lemon peels into the
rice pilaf. It will be enough to
add grated
lemon peels
and chopped
dill into the
pilaf in the
course of
the steeping
time. Thus,
you will enrich
both the
presentation
and flavor of
the pilaf.
