Hi all, this was easy (but never let anyone believe it) and extremely delicious. More of a winter dish, but we had the aircon on....so we felt like something rich....
4 x spatchcocks
Sea salt & pepper
Olive oil
2 cups of dried green lentils
2 dried chorizo/sliced
5 eschalots/halved
4 bay leaves
10g dried porcini mushrooms
300g of mixed mushrooms (i used button, brown and shitake)
1/half cups of port
1.25 litres of HOT chicken stock
Get your choice of cooker prepped, (I use webber,indirect)
You want a hot environment (450-500F)
These birds cook quick.
Wait till you have your cooker just about at the right heat, put all ingredients, except olive oil, seasoning &spatchcocks, in a deep roasting pan, don't forget the chicken stock is poured HOT
Mix this around to allow the port and stock mix.
Place the birds in the pan, pour a little olive oil on top and season the birds......
Place in your cooker. ......
Cook for 30-45 min depending on the size of your birds....
Obviously my misses is not a lentil fan. .....but rest assured blokes, this packs a punch. ....I toasted some spelt bread over the webber with a little olive oil, garlic and butter to accompany the dish. Great to dip with and eat with the lentils. ...
Cheers....
