Sticky Szechuan Chicken with Eggplant and Shiitake Mushrooms

HERE'S HOW WE MAKE IT

Our adaptation of an irresistible Karen Martini recipe takes free-range chicken marylands which we brown, then braise with sliced shiitake mushrooms and onions in a mixture of soy and fish sauce scented with five spice and Szechuan peppercorns. When cooked and tender, we toss through diced, roasted eggplant and scatter with spring onions and coriander.
