I don't eat chicken anymore, but I thought I'd share this extremely easy and yummy recipe. Note: the moorish relates to mid-eastern spices, not being more-ish, which it is anyway

• ½ cup saffron threads
• ¼ cup boiling water
• 6 chicken drumsticks
• ¼ cup olive oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• 3 TBS grated ginger
• 2 x 400g cans chopped tomatoes
• ½ cup puy or green lentils
• 4 cups chicken stock
• 1/3 cup long-grain rice
• 1 lemon, juiced
• salt and pepper

combine saffron and boiling water and leave to infuse for 5 minutes

in a large saucepan, brown chicken drumsticks in a little oil for 1-2 minutes on each side, then remove to one side. Add onion and garlic to the pan, and cook over a low heat for 5 minutes

add ginger, dissolved saffron, tomatoes, lentils, browned drumsticks and stock. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 15 minutes. Add rice and simmer for a further 15 minutes

stir in lemon and season to taste with salt and pepper
