300g Chantenay carrots
1 tsp Bart Spices cumin seeds
6 tbsp Hill Farm cold pressed rapeseed oil

Method:

Preheat the oven to 170°C/325°F/Gas Mark 3

Mix together the mango chutney, curry paste, oil and lemon juice and marinate the chicken for 1 –2 hours. 

Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, basting frequently, until almost cooked.  Turn the oven up to 200°C/400°F/Gas Mark 6, and cook the chicken for a further 10 minutes until well browned and crisp.

For the lentil salad, preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas Mark 6.  Cook the lentils on the hob in plenty of water for 20 – 25 minutes, and drain well.  Place the Chantenay in a roasting tin with 2 tbsp of cold pressed rapeseed oil and the cumin seeds.  Roast in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.  Whisk together the remaining oil, red onion, garlic, cardamom and lime juice.  Stir this mixture into the cooked lentils, along with the roasted carrots, tomatoes and coriander, and season well with sea salt and black pepper.

Serve the lentil and Chantenay salad with the mango chicken.
