Ingredients:

• 2 roast potatoes or other left over roast vegetables, cut into slices*
• 3 tablespoons coconut oil, for frying
• 2 large brown onions, thinly sliced
• ½ tsp turmeric powder
• ½ large cooked chicken*, shredded (I usually use leftovers from a roast)
• 5 tbsp vinegar (malt vinegar or apple cider vinegar)
• 1 large bunch of fresh coriander, finely chopped
• Fine sea salt and ground black pepper, for seasoning

Method:

1. Melt 2 tablespoons coconut oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onion slices and pinch of salt and fry for 20–30 minutes until nicely browned. Please be patient with your onions. Browning them properly is key to adding so much flavour to your dish.
2. Using a slotted spoon, remove the onions and add 1 tablespoon coconut oil to the pan. Turn the heat up to high and add the potatoes, tossing them in the oil to crisp up. Sprinkle over ½ tsp turmeric and stir until the potatoes take on a yellow hue and are crisp and golden around the edges.
3. Add the shredded chicken to the pan with the potatoes and season well with salt and pepper.*
4. Pour in 5 tbsp vinegar and return the onions to the pan, then stir for a minute to cook off the vinegar slightly.
5. Sprinkle over the coriander and stir once more to combine.
6. Serve on its own, with rice or in a wrap with some sweet chilli sauce. Enjoy!

Top tips:

* If using uncooked potatoes. Cut into slices and place in large pot of cold, salted water, cover and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cook for 10 minutes (they should still be firm and hold their shape), then drain and set aside.

* You can also start with uncooked chicken – boned, skinless chicken thighs, sliced into thin strips. Fry these in the hot pan (after removing the potato and onion) for 10–15 minutes, seasoning with salt and pepper and a sprinkle of turmeric. When cooked, return the potato and onion to the pan and continue with the remaining steps.

* To make this vegan, simply swap the chicken for tofu, which I have done before and it tastes sublime! Just fry the tofu using the same method if using uncooked chicken, but for 1-2 minutes on each side.
