Preserved Lemon Chicken | Ottolenghi 20

May 4, 2023 | We're celebrating 20 years of Ottolenghi and so we're focusing each week on a key Ottolenghi ingredient that we use, love and want you to try. This episode is all about Preserved Lemons!

One of the Ottolenghi flavour bombs, we use preserved lemons to flavour meats and vegetables, sauces and marinades. The process is quite simple but requires a little planning (about 4 weeks to be exact), though preserved lemons are available to buy too.

Watch Yotam making preserved lemons, his preserved lemon roasted chicken as well as how to spatchcock a chicken - a great technique to reduce roasting time and a more even cooking.

Saudis Protest After Chicken Prices Soar
THE INDEPENDENT: A social media campaign is encouraging shoppers in Saudi Arabia to stop buying chicken in protest at price hikes of up to 40 per cent.

The Twitter movement – entitled "Let it Rot" – asks Saudi citizens to punish traders for raising the price of chicken in recent weeks.

The Saudi Agriculture Minister, Dr Fahad Balghunaim, blamed the price rise on a production shortfall. He said suppliers could only meet about 45 per cent of demand due to a rise in the cost of animal feed. » | Andrew Liddle | Saturday, October 06, 2012

Chicken Injected with Beef Waste Sold in UK
Image: Google Images
THE INDEPENDENT: Muslims and Jews conned into eating meat bulked out with cow and pig products

Cafes and restaurants across Britain have been selling chicken secretly injected with beef and pork waste, The Independent can reveal today.

In a hi-tech fraud run by firms in three EU states, food manufacturers are making bulking agents out of porcine and bovine gristle and bones that help inflate chicken breasts, so that they fetch a higher price.

The swindle was only detected by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) using new scientific techniques because the non-chicken material had been so highly processed it passed standard DNA tests.

Thousands of restaurateurs and cafe owners are likely to have been conned into buying chicken containing the powder – which binds water into chicken breasts – while diners have been unwittingly consuming traces of other animals when eating out.

Britain's two million Muslims, Jews and Hindus are forbidden from eating either pork or beef. Muslims would ordinarily eat halal chicken and Jews kosher chicken sold through approved caterers and butchers. >>> By Martin Hickman, Consumer Affairs Correspondent | Thursday, June 04, 2009
