Time 1h

Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 4-pound chicken
1 small onion
1 sprig tarragon
1 sprig parsley
Olive oil for brushing
6 1/2 ounces of walnut meats, finely ground
6 tablespoons white vinegar
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 cup chopped fresh coriander
1/8 teaspoon hot Hungarian paprika
2 cups chicken stock or broth
1 1/4 teaspoon fenugreek
3/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 to 1 teaspoon turmeric

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 450 degrees.
  • Wash and dry the chicken and stuff its cavity with the whole, peeled onion, the sprig of tarragon and parsley. Rub the skin with olive oil.
  • Place the chicken in a roasting pan in the oven, then reduce the heat to 350 degrees. Roast the chicken for about 45 minutes, until it is tender.
  • While the chicken is roasting, make the walnut sauce.
  • Saute the chopped onion in one tablespoon of olive oil, until it is soft.
  • In a large bowl, combine the onion with the walnuts, vinegar, garlic, coriander, red pepper, chicken stock, fenugreek and turmeric. Add enough turmeric to give the mixture a pleasing yellowish cast. Serve with the chicken.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken turned out perfectly. The walnut sauce was a bit too thick for my taste, so I added a little bit of water to thin it out.
