Steps:
- Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Rub 1 tbsp olive oil into the chicken thighs. Mix the garlic, cumin, coriander and paprika together, then rub all over the chicken thighs on both sides.
- Heat a large flameproof casserole, add the chicken thighs and cook over a medium heat for 5 mins until golden on both sides. You might need to do this in 2 batches, depending on the size of the casserole. Set the chicken aside. Turn down the heat, add the remaining oil and fry the onion for 5 mins until softened.
- Stir in the rest of the ingredients, apart from the mint and bring to the boil. Place the chicken thighs on top and pour in any juices. Cover and cook for 1½ hrs, until the meat is tender and the sauce thickened. Can be cooled and frozen at this stage for up to 1 month. Defrost thoroughly in the fridge, then gently warm through. Scatter with fresh mint leaves and serve with couscous or rice.

SPARE VEGES CHICKEN CASSEROLE WITH PUY LENTILS
My boyfriend & I first had Puy Lentils at a restaurant in Paris (L'Ambassade d'Auvergne) & thought they were fantastic. This recipe uses chicken, lentils & any leftover veges you have - we get a weekly organic box so on a Wednesday (the night before the delivery for the week) we have odd amounts of veges left that we don't want to waste. This is how this recipe came about. I used carrots, cabbage, mushrooms etc, but just use whatever you have on hand. If you don't have Puy Lentils, brown can be substituted. You can also reduce the garlic if 4 cloves sounds like a bit much!

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
- Place the lentils, bay leaf, water and crumbled stock cube in a saucepan. Heat until just boiling, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Whilst the lentils are cooking, heat 1T of the olive oil in a stove top to oven pan (like Le Creuset etc).
- Brown the chicken & remove from the pan.
- Saute the onions & garlic in the same pan until translucent. Remove from the pan.
- Add the bacon (and the extra olive oil if necessary) and brown.
- Return the chicken & onions/garlic to the pan & add the thyme, vegetables & lentils. Stir to combine.
- Add salt & pepper to taste, along with the bay leaves and stock (because I have a Le Creuset pan I don't need as much stock, however you may wish to add a little bit more during cooking).
- Cover and cook for 30 minutes.
- Make a paste with the flour & butter, and after 30 minutes whisk this through the casserole to thicken. Return to the oven and cook for another hour, or until the vegetables are just softened.
- Stir through the cream, grind over extra black pepper if necessary, and serve.
