Step by step
Get ahead
The stew keeps for up to 2 days in the fridge, or can be frozen (add the lime juice before freezing, to preserve the colour of the celeriac).
- Melt the ghee in a casserole over a medium heat. Season the chicken and then brown really well on all sides for 5-8 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- Using the same pan, fry the onion and garlic until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the celeriac, carrot, bay leaves, oregano and stock, season, stir and bring to a simmer. Return the chicken to the pot, skin side up. Simmer, lid on, for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken and veg are tender.
- Add the sweetcorn and cook for a further 5 minutes.
- Add lime juice and season to taste. Divide the stew between bowls and top with capers, chillies, coriander and soured cream.
