Satsivi (or საცივი in Georgian) is a thick and velvety sauce made from walnuts and traditionally served cold (in Georgian, 'tsivi’ means ‘cold’). Usually, it's made using poultry such as chicken or turkey and is typically seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic, fenugreek, coriander and cinnamon. This twist on Satsivi lays herbed chicken onto a bed of creamy walnut sauce for a mouthwatering side dish full of flavour.

Due to the war in Ukraine, it has been necessary to substitute sunflower oil with rapeseed oil in some products without a label change. The FSA have advised that allergic reactions to rapeseed oil are rare.

a) Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

c) When cooked, remove from your oven, cover with foil and allow to rest for a couple of mins.
a) While the chicken roasts, halve the lemon, then juice one half and cut the other half into wedges. Pick off some coriander leaves and set aside for garnish. Thinly slice the chilli (add less if you'd prefer things milder).
b) Once the garlic has cooled, cut the end with scissors and squeeze it out of the skin.
c) In a blender, add the walnuts, remaining coriander, ground cinnamon, roasted garlic, the lemon juice and the olive oil and sugar (see pantry for both amounts).
d) Season with salt and pepper and blend until smooth. Taste and season with more salt, pepper, lemon juice and sugar if needed.
a) Once your roasted chicken has rested, slice widthways into 1cm thick strips.
