Liz says: "This sweet-and savoury chicken tsimmes is an easy dish with a built-in attraction. The juices of the chicken enhance the flavours of the carrots and prunes. It's filling when paired with rice or kasha, and it's colourful and complex enough to serve for the holidays."

Method

● Preheat the oven to 200°C. In a small bowl, mix together the ginger, honey, a tablespoon of the oil, the salt, red pepper flakes, and lemon zest to make a glaze. Set aside.

● In a heavy-bottomed oven proof frying pan, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil over a medium heat.
