Ingredients
3 Seville oranges (or cumquats or grapefruit for a bitter-sweet taste)
3 spatchcocks (500g each)
1/2 cup mustard seed oil
3 large carrots, julienned
1 Spanish onion, sliced thin
1 1/2 cups chicken stock
1 cinnamon stick
1/4 teaspoon saffron threads, crushed and mixed with a tablespoon of water
2 fresh green chillis, chopped
1/2 cup coarsely chopped coriander
2 tablespoons unsalted pistachios, shelled and toasted
2 tablespoons slivered almonds, toasted
Couscous or rice cooked with stock, to serve
Preparation
Remove rind from oranges with potato peeler and julienne. Put in a small saucepan, cover with cold water and bring to the boil. Drain, repeat process and drain again to remove excess bitterness.
Remove pith from oranges with sharp knife. Segment oranges and remove membrane and pips. Keep flesh and juice. Truss spatchcocks by tying legs and wings against body. Heat mustard seed oil in deep flame-proof casserole dish over medium heat and brown spatchcocks all over. Remove and set aside.
Add carrot and onion to casserole, toss to coat with oil and cook over medium heat until soft. Return spatchcocks to casserole, add julienned rind, reserved orange juice, stock, cinnamon, saffron liquid, chilli and 1 teaspoon salt.
Cover and simmer for 40 minutes or until spatchcocks are tender, then stir in coriander. Remove spatchcocks from sauce, cut in halves. Stir in orange segments and return spatchcocks to sauce.
Sprinkle with nuts and serve with couscous or rice and Turkish bread.

Hot Tips
Sticking to the steamer
To avoid food sticking to the bamboo steamer either place a cabbage leaf (or similar) in the bamboo steamer (placing the dumplings on top). Alternatively cut a round of baking paper and cut holes into it (as you would make a paper snowflake).
Glossary
