Recipe: Chicken with Pomegranate and Honey

Pomegranate and honey are symbols of a prosperous and sweet new year. I prefer chicken on the bone, but you can use boneless thighs. You will need to reduce the cooking time by 10-15 minutes if you do. A non-stick frying pan gives the best results - the chicken won't stick, it will keep in juices and will need less oil for cooking.

Serves: 4

INGREDIENTS
4-5 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, finely sliced
1 tbsp fresh ginger, peeled and grated
½ tsp turmeric

2 tbsp honey
Small bunch fresh parsley, finely chopped
Salt and freshly ground black
pepper to taste
100g pomegranate seeds

METHOD
● Warm the oil in a large non-stick frying pan/skillet. Add the onion and cook on a low flame for 5 minutes then add the ginger, turmeric and pomegranate molasses.
