Chicken, potatoes and romanesco (or cauliflower) stewed to tenderness in a mustardy broth. Nice for a special dinner and goes well with white wine. I adapted this from one of my favorite cookbooks on Dutch oven cooking.

    Cut onions into wedges, cut potatoes into chunks, divide cauliflower/romanesco into florets, and mince garlic.

    Add onions and garlic and sauté until onions are soft.

  4. 4

    Add potatoes, thyme, bay leaf and 400 ml water to the pot. Bing to a boil.

    Add the romanesco or cauliflower. Continue cooking for 10-15 minutes.
