This is a Gabonnaise version of the classic West African Poulet Yassa that uses mustard rather than chillies as a flavouring.

Ingredients:

8 chicken pieces (legs, thighs, breasts
200ml mustard (Dijon for a milder flavour or a mix of Dijon and English for more of a punch)
1 kg onions, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
Juice from 2 lemons

Method:

Brown the chicken in a little oil then transfer to a plate and fry the onions in the same oil until translucent. Transfer the onions to a large lidded pot, add the chicken, mustard and lemon juice.

Mix together then cover the pot with aluminium foil and then the lid to trap all the steam. Cook on very low heat for about an hour until the chicken is cooked through. Serve on a bed of rice.
