Sunday best: Thomasina Miers’ recipes for aromatic chicken one-pot and salted caramel banana cake
It’s wild garlic time again! Try this pesto with an aromatic chicken, fennel and potato stew, then dive into a fudgy banana cake with a tantalisingly crunchy top
TL;DR
- The ancho chilli is recommended for its sweet, earthy notes and is featured in both recipes.
- The chicken pot-au-feu includes chicken, bacon lardons, vegetables, white wine, and a wild garlic pesto.
- The banana cake incorporates salted caramel, dark chocolate, and a topping of toasted sesame seeds, demerara sugar, and spices.
- Ancho chilli flakes are optional in both recipes, with alternatives like nora or aleppo chilli flakes suggested.
- The wild garlic pesto can be used with other dishes like pasta or jacket potatoes.
