Chicken Marsala Jamie Oliver Food

VEGGIE MASALA

Steps:

• Recipe kindly shared by the Tesco Community Cookery School with Jamie Oliver. The recipe has been written to be flexible and scalable up to 50 portions. Note: all veg weights are for trimmed, prepped vegetables.
• Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas 4.
• Scrub or peel the hard/root veg and roughly chop into 2.5cm cubes. Tip into a large oven tray (or divide between a few).
• Drizzle with oil, then add the spices and toss to coat. Roast for 25 minutes, or until softened and lightly golden.
• Place a pan large enough to hold all the ingredients on a medium-low heat. Pour in the curry base sauce and bring to a simmer.
• Drain the chickpeas, add to the pan and cook for 5 minutes until warmed through.
• Tip in the roasted veg and give everything a good mix to combine, then season to taste.

CHICKEN MARSALA

Steps:

• Put the chicken breasts between sheets of cling film and beat, using a meat mallet or rolling pin, until about 5mm thick. Season with salt and pepper on both sides.
• Put the flour on a plate and dip the chicken in it to coat lightly, shaking off any excess.
• Melt half the butter and oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the chicken for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden-brown. Set aside.
• Wipe the pan with kitchen paper. Heat the remaining butter and oil over a medium heat and gently fry the shallot and garlic for about 5 minutes until softened. Add the mushrooms and cook for 2 minutes. Add the Marsala and increase the heat to high. Cook until the liquid has reduced in volume by about half. Turn the heat back down to medium, add the stock and chicken. Cook for about 10 minutes. Serve sprinkled with parsley.

CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA BY JAMIE OLIVER

Steps:

• Grate the garlic and ginger and put to one side in a bowl. Chop the chillies as finely as possible and mix them in with the garlic and ginger. Heat a good splash of oil in a pan and add the mustard seeds. When they start to pop, add them to the ginger and garlic mixture along with the paprika, cumin, ground coriander and 2 T of the garam masala. Put half of this mix in a bowl, add the yogurt and the chicken pieces to it, stir and leave to marinate for about a half an hour.
• Melt butter in the same saucepan the mustard seeds were in and add the sliced onions and the remaining half of the spice mix. Cook gently for about 15 minutes without browning too much. Add the tomato puree, ground nuts, 2 1/2 C of water and 1/2 t of salt. Stir well and simmer gently for a few minutes. Let this sauce reduce until it thickens slightly and then place to one side.
• Put the marinated chicken on a hot griddle pan and sear until cooked through.
• Warm the sauce and add the cream and the other T of garam masala. Taste and correct the seasoning if necessary. As soon as it boils, take off the heat and add the grilled chicken. Check the seasoning again and serve sprinkled with the chopped cilantro and the lime juice.
