WHAT IS OLD IS NEW AGAIN

Chicken Juliet .....how very 70`s.....But the same recipe 2013 , would be tauted as Middle Eastern inspired chicken .
Food that we eat is determined by trends, recipes that are deemed old fashioned or dated are simply reborn with a new presentation, a new name, to a new generation of diners.
Lets have a read of the original recipe for Chicken Juliet..
1. orange......
2. tbs  butter
1. tbs oil
1. onion thinly sliced
4. chicken joints
1. cup of seasoned powder
2.5 cups of chicken stocks
150ml of white wine
1. tbs Worcestershire sauce
50gms of sultanas/ raisins.

Heat your oven, and thinly pare the orange rind and cut into thin strips.
Fry the onion in the oil and butter until transparent, then remove with a slotted spoon and place in an oven proof dish.
Toss the chicken in the seasoned flour and fry till evenly browned, then add to the stock, wine , Worcestershire sauce, orange strips and sultanas in the ovenproof dish.
fully enclose the dish and bake for 1 hour.
Serve with a warm lentil and beetroot salad.


Now lets change some wording......oven proof dish becomes a tagine...in place of butter use ghee ..remove wine all together and replace it with lemon juice.
Chicken Juliet  has just been reinvented and updated to an Orange Chicken Tagine.
