1 tbsp cumin seeds
1 tbsp coriander seeds
1 tbsp fennel seeds
1 tbsp white peppercorns
1 tbsp sea salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 loaf sourdough bread
180ml olive oil
3 med brown onions, diced
250g raisins
4 tea bags
6 cloves garlic, peeled and diced
3 bay leaves
Sea salt
Freshly ground white pepper
5 x 1.2kg chickens
Olive oil
Method
- Preheat oven to 180C. Grind the cumin, coriander, fennel, pepper and sea salt in a coffee grinder or mortar and pestle to a fine powder. Alternatively, substitute 1 teaspoon of powdered spice for each tablespoon of whole spice.
- Add cinnamon to spice mix. Reserve.
- To make stuffing, cut crust off bread and discard. Tear bread into rough chunks about 20 cent size and toast in the oven until golden brown, about 10 minutes.
- Increase oven heat to 200C. Heat olive oil, season and gently fry the onion, garlic and bay leaves until soft, about 15 minutes.
- Place raisins and tea bags in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Soak for 20 minutes, strain away liquid and discard tea bags. Place bread in a large bowl and stir through cooked onions and tea-soaked raisins.
- Check seasoning then stuff chickens. Place them on roasting trays and drizzle with a little olive oil. Rub spice mix into chicken skin.
- Roast in oven for 55 minutes. Allow to rest 20 minutes in a warm place before carving. They can be served cold.
Note: the stuffing can be made in advance but should be cooled completely before the chickens are stuffed.
