Grilled Chicken with Lemon, Garlic and Rosemary, served with Puy Lentils | Recipes | Delia Online Begin by cutting each chicken breast into 5 evenly sized pieces and place these in a bowl. Then cut one half of the onion into quarters (reserve the other half for the lentils) and separate into layers, adding them to the chicken, along with the rest of the ingredients and a seasoning of salt and pepper. Now give everything a good mixing, cover with a cloth and go away and leave it in a cool place for at least half an hour. While you are marinating the chicken, if you are using wooden skewers you need to soak them for 30 minutes in hot water (to prevent them burning). Next, see to the lentils. Put on a lid and let the lentils simmer gently for about 30-40 minutes until the liquid has been absorbed. To cook the chicken, thread the pieces on the skewer, putting half a bay leaf first, then a mushroom, next a piece of chicken, then a piece of onion, finishing with the other mushroom and the other half of the bay leaf. Garnish with flat-leaf parsley and serve with the lentils and a green salad.

Semolina Gnocchi with Gorgonzola | Recipes | Delia Online First of all you'll need a large saucepan, and into that put the milk and 10 fl oz (275 ml) water, along with a good grating of nutmeg, 1 level teaspoon of salt and some freshly milled black pepper. Then sprinkle in the semolina and, over a medium heat and stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, bring it all up to the boil. Let the mixture simmer gently for about 4 minutes, still stirring, until it is thick enough to stand the spoon up in, then remove the pan from the heat and beat in 2 oz (50 g) of the Parmesan and the eggs. Now adjust the seasoning, then pour the mixture into the prepared tin and spread it out evenly with a spatula. Turn the cheese and semolina mixture out on to a board and peel away the silicone paper, then cut the mixture into 2 inch (5 cm) rounds with the pastry cutter, reshape the trimmings and cut out more rounds until the mixture is all used up.
Loin of Pork Dijonnaise Start by scoring the skin of the pork with the tip of a very sharp knife, or Stanley knife, or you can now even buy a special scalpel from a good-quality kitchen shop! Even if it is scored already, it is best to add a few more lines. What you need to do is score the skin all over into thin strips, bringing the blade of the knife about halfway through the fat beneath the skin. Then take off the skin, together with about half the layer of fat underneath – in one piece if possible. Place this on a shallow baking tray, sprinkle generously with salt then put it on the highest shelf of the oven for 15-20 minutes or until it is a very crisp and crunchy piece of crackling to accompany the meat. When you remove it from the oven, pour the fat into a bowl to use later for frying etc. Meantime, place the breadcrumbs in a mixing bowl, crush the peppercorns with a pestle and mortar or using the back of a tablespoon, and add them to the breadcrumbs together with the sage and about ½ teaspoon salt.
