madbakerThis week's Resolution Recipe: Chicken, Harissa, Feta, and Sweet Potato Hash
2 chicken leggses
salt and pepper
3 Tbsp harissa
1 large sweet potato
olive oil
2 spring onions, sliced
200 g (1 small can) sweetcorn, drained (I used frozen corn instead)
no garlic (Ha! I used... more.)
(added: chives)
2 eggses
zest of 1 lemon
1 3/4 oz feta cheese
Heat oven to 400 F. Cut the chicken leggses through the middle, separating the thighs and drumsticks. Put them in a bowl, then add 2 Tbsp harissa and massage it into the flesh. Season with salt and pepper. Place on a roasting tray. Pierce the sweet potato, wrap in foil, and place alongside the chicken. Roast both for 45 minutes.
Heat a splash of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the spring onions and garlic and cook for 3-5 minutes until soft, without letting them colour. Add the sweetcorn and the final Tbsp of harissa and cook for a further 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Peel away the sweet potato skin and cut roughly into 1" pieces. Flake the chicken, including the skin, into similar sized pieces. Add both to the skillet and give a good stir. Saute for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, melt butter in another frying pan and fry the eggses.
When the hash is ready, divide it between 2 plates, crumble over the feta cheese, and finish with a grating of lemon zest and chives. Top each plate with an egg, season with salt and pepper, and serve.
What worked: This was an excellent weekend breakfast. We poached the eggses instead because the wife likes them better that way and she's good at it. The chives added a good splash of color. Excuse me, colour.
What didn't: We reduced the chicken to one leg, which was generally sufficient for both of us - except that in that case I'd make two eggses per person. We hadn't planned to do this ahead of time so we had to cook the chicken and sweet potato once we got back from the farmer's market with said chicken and sweet potato, meaning brunch was a bit later than I prefer to eat. It'd be better with more planning.
Will I make it again? Yes.
