Black Garlic Chicken and Lentil Salad

Heavenly sweet sticky black garlic makes the perfect base for a marinade or dressing, with tonnes of umami. To make a wonderful spiced butter for roasted and grilled meats and vegetables, particularly large roast mushrooms – replace the oil in the marinade with softened butter.

Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 180C.
Combine all marinade ingredients by either shaking together in a jar, or for a smoother paste, blitz in the small bowl of a food processor.
Take the marinade (reserve 2 tablespoons if making lentil salad below) and rub all over chicken, gently lifting the skin and pushing some under there too.
Place chicken pieces on a lined baking tray and roast for 30 minutes until cooked through.
Serve immediately, or allow to cool before refrigerating (great for picnics!)
For lentil salad, combine ingredients and toss with dressing just before serving.
