Servings: persons

2 tbsp Olive oil
1 Onion, roughly sliced
1 2.5cm Cinnamon stick
2 Large tomatoes, roughly chopped
0.5 tsp Turmeric
0.25 tsp Freshly ground black pepper
1.5 kg (3.3lbs) Chicken legs and thighs on the bone, skinned
300 g (10.6oz) Small waxy potatoes, roughly sliced
1 Unwaxed lemon, thinly sliced and pips removed
2 Large handfuls parsley leaves, finely chopped
2 pinches Sea salt

1
Preheat the oven to 190C/375F/Gas 5.
2
Heat the oil in an flameproof casserole dish over a medium heat, then add the onion and cinnamon.
3
Cook, stirring occasionally, for 6-7 minutes, or until the onion is just turning golden.
4
Add the tomatoes, turmeric, black pepper and season with a good pinch of salt.
5
Mix everything together well and then add the chicken.
6
Cover the chicken with alternate layers of potato and lemon slices (the order doesn't matter), then pour over enough freshly boiled water to just cover everything.
7
Put the casserole dish in the preheated oven with the lid on, then cook for 1 hour, or until the chicken is cooked through and beautifully tender.
8
Return the casserole dish to the hob over a medium heat, remove the lid and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally and very gently, so the sauce can reduce.
9
Gently stir in the chopped parsley and serve immediately.
