Begin this whole chicken recipe by making the stock. Place the ingredients for the poaching stock into a large saucepan and fill with warm water
  • 1 carrot
  • 1 onion
  • 1 celery stick
  • 1/4 bunch of thyme
  • 1/4 bunch of tarragon
  • 4 garlic cloves

2
Bring to a gentle simmer, then add the chicken, topping up with more water if necessary. Cover with a lid and simmer very gently for 40 minutes
  • 1 free-range chicken
3
Remove the chicken from the stock and allow to dry off slightly. Strain the stock into a clean saucepan, bring to the boil and continue to boil gently until it has reduced to a third
4
Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the mustard and cream. When ready to serve, reheat gently and whisk in the chopped tarragon

  • 4 tbsp of olive oil
  • 2 bunches of thyme

6
Preheat the oven to 150°C/130°C fan/Gas 2. Smother the crust mixture on to the chicken, then place it in the oven for 45 minutes
7
For the cauliflower, put a chargrill pan over a very high heat whilst blanching the cauliflower for 3 minutes in seasoned boiling water, then drain
  • 1 cauliflower
8
Toss the florets in the vegetable oil, then chargrill until they are starting to brown. Sprinkle with the curry powder as they are being grilled. Sprinkle with the macadamias and parsley when ready to serve, plating up next to the encrusted chicken
  • 1 tbsp of vegetable oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp curry powder
  • 50g of macadamia nuts
  • 2 tbsp of flat-leaf parsley
