method
- Prepare the Piadini: in a suitable size mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients. Kneed by hand or by a mixer, until smooth and elastic. Cover and rest for 15 minutes. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll into approx. 22cm circles.
- Place a large dry pan over a high heat. Cook the flatbreads on each side until they blister, approx. 1-2 minute. Remove and repeat with the remaining flatbreads. Cover the cooked flatbreads with a damp tea towel, and re-heat as required.
- Prepare the chicken: Place a large size saucepan over a medium heat and add the pancetta. Fry the pancetta until golden and crispy rendering out the fat. Remove the pancetta with a slotted spoon and discard half the fat. Place all the other ingredients into the pan (except the kale and chopped parsley) along with the pancetta and submerge with water.
- Bring the pan to a simmer and reduce to very low. Cook gently for approx. 45 minutes or until the chicken is very tender.
- Remove the chicken from the pan. Add the kale to the pan and allow to cook for a further 5 minutes. Meanwhile separate the legs from the chicken and divide into a leg and a thigh. Remove the breasts from the carcass and cut in half.
- Finish the braising liquor with the flat leaf parsley.
- Serve a leg or thigh with half a breast along with a piece of carrot, celery, fennel and onion. Pour over a few ladles of stock with the pancetta, kale and parsley. Serve with the piadini.
