Tips/Hints: This recipe is from "Ottolenghi: The Cookbook" and I hope that they don't mind.  This is not a Thermomix recipe, but is so good that I think everyone should try it at least once!!

Thanks Amanda - it does look great and I think Ottolenghi should look at it as advertising/promotion - it's not the whole book !!

This caught my eye as I am halfway through prepping the recipe for a dinner party tonight using the Ottolenghi cookbook which I LOVE. A pleasant surprise to see it here on the forum!

It's an absolute beauty, the combination of rose water, roasted hazelnuts and honey is magic on the chicken. I had happy guests! I did all my prep in my TMX.
