Ingredients

3 small artichokes
1 slice of lemon
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 chicken drumsticks on the bone, skin on
2 chicken thighs on the bone, skin on
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp coriander seeds
1/2 tsp fennel seeds
1/2 small brown onion, finely chopped
1 tsp tomato paste
about 50 ml dry white wine
2 tomatoes, cut into small dice
2 tbsp chopped parsley

Preparation

Cut two-thirds off the top of the artichokes, using a serrated knife. Then using a paring knife, carefully trim all the leaves down to the artichoke heart. Trim the stalks leaving about 2 cm. Using a melon baller or spoon, trim the hairy part of the heart, then cut the heart in quarters. Rub the clean artichoke pieces with a slice of lemon to prevent discolouring, the place them in cold water until required.

Heat the oil in a medium frypan and brown the chicken pieces for 2 minutes on each side. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.

Add the drained artichoke pieces and stir for 2 minutes. Add the coriander and fennel seeds, stir briefly, then add the chopped onion and cook for 3 minutes.

Stir in the tomato paste and white wine and bring to the boil. Stir in the chopped tomatoes, bring to a simmer, cover with a lid and cook on low heat for
15 to 20 minutes.

Spoon a little sauce and some artichokes onto two plates. Top with the chicken pieces, sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve.

Bon appétit!

Definately do this dish
This dish is a winner, the artichokes can be a bit expensive and slow to prep, but I wouldn't use canned. The chicken cut is cheap and this turns out a nice classic french dish. The fennel suits the dish really well. I'm planning on working my way through the entire tour...
