Method


  1. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.

  2. For the seared poussin, rub the poussin breast and legs with a little of the olive oil, salt and freshly ground black pepper and curry powder.

  3. Heat an ovenproof pan over a medium heat, add a dash of olive oil and place the poussin into the pan skin-side down. Fry for five minutes, or until golden-brown, then turn over.

  4. Place in the oven and roast for 6-8 minutes, or until the poussin is golden-brown and completely cooked through - check that the juices run clear when pierced with a skewer. Remove from the oven and keep warm.

  5. For the sweet pepper marmalade, heat the olive oil in a frying pan, add the red pepper and fry over a low heat for five minutes, or until softened. Add the garlic and fry for one minute. Add the red wine vinegar, sugar, ketchup and a splash of boiling water and simmer for 7-8 minutes, until reduced and sticky.

  6. To serve, spoon the marmalade onto a serving plate and top with the seared chicken. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve.
