1 dl dried lentils
1 whole chicken (1.4-1.6 kg)
2 tbsp Flaming Dust
3 red onions
2 bell peppers
4 carrots
4 cloves crushed garlic
4 sprigs of thyme
¼ kg cherry tomatoes
75 g almonds, optionally Salted Smoked Almonds
1 small bunch parsley
Salt
Pepper
Oil

Mix the rub and massage it well into the chicken, then wrap it in plastic wrap. Let it rest for 12-24 hours.

Rinse the dried Anicia lentils and soak them in plenty of water in the fridge for at least 10 hours, or overnight.

The next day, drain the lentils. Cut the chicken into drumsticks, thighs, and breasts, and optionally, cut each breast into two pieces. Peel the onions and cut them into quarters. Rinse, clean, and chop the bell peppers and carrots into coarse pieces.

Rinse and halve the cherry tomatoes. Peel the garlic and give each clove a light smash with the flat of your hand, keeping the skin on but opening it slightly.

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Take an ovenproof dish and pour oil into the bottom. Place the chicken, onions, bell peppers, carrots, garlic, half the tomatoes, and the soaked lentils into the dish. Season with Flaming Dust, salt, and pepper, and place fresh thyme sprigs on top.

Put the dish in the oven for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, add the almonds and the remaining tomatoes to the chicken dish and return it to the oven for about 15 minutes.

Sprinkle the rest of the soaked lentils, fresh thyme sprigs, and chopped parsley on top and serve, possibly with one of our many salads made with lentils, peas, or fava beans.

Enjoy your meal!
