  5. Pour over the chicken, add the lentils and bake covered for 35-40 minutes or until the chicken is cooked. If your dish doesn’t have a lid, cover with some tin foil.

  6. Cook the rice as per instructions. When it is ready, mix the sliced spinach into the rice, then drain if necessary. Cover to keep hot.

To use up the kaffir lime leaves put 500ml of water and 500g sugar in a pot with the kaffir lime leaves on a medium heat. Stir until all the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat and blend till the lime leaves are small flecks. Use as a drink concentrate or a sauce for ice cream.
