  • 2 onions, thinly sliced

  • 1 organic chicken stock cube, dissolved in 400ml water (check for gluten free)
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric

Method

7 steps
  1. Step 1

    Season the chicken legs generously with salt and leave to come up to room temp.

  2. Step 2

    Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Brown the chicken on both sides; set aside.

  3. Step 3

    Add the garlic, ginger and half the onion to the pan; cook for 10 mins until soft.

  4. Step 4

    Add the coconut milk, chicken stock, turmeric and kimchi; stir well.

  5. Step 5

    Return the chicken legs to the pan, with resting juices; make sure they’re submerged or add a little water as needed. Bring to the boil; reduce to a simmer. Partially cover; cook for 1 hr.

  6. Step 6

    Meanwhile, cook the rice to pack instructions. Toss the remaining onion in a small bowl with the salt and coriander.

  7. Step 7

    Shred the meat (discard the bones and skin); add it back into the stew with the lime juice. Serve with the rice and onion. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3 days.
