Marco Pierre White has a way of elevating humble ingredients into something extraordinary. This recipe takes inspiration from his philosophy of “letting the ingredients speak.” The poussin, with its naturally tender meat, is roasted simply yet powerfully, glazed with Greenfields Greek Thyme Honey and a lick of Greenfields Ras El Hanout. It’s paired with a nutty freekeh pilaf dotted with barberries for sharpness, and finished with a cooling yoghurt sauce lifted by lemon and Greenfields Sumac. It’s a dish that feels indulgent yet uncomplicated — the kind of plate Marco would admire for its respect for flavour.
Preparation: 20 minutes
Cooking: 45 minutes
Total: 1 hour 5 minutes
2 whole poussin (about 500g each), spatchcocked
3 tbsp Greenfields Greek Thyme Honey
2 tsp Greenfields Ras El Hanout
2 tbsp olive oil
150g Greenfields Freekeh, lightly toasted cracked wheat
1 small onion, finely diced
1 tbsp Greenfields Barberries (Zereshk), soaked in warm water for 10 minutes
500ml chicken stock
250g Greek yoghurt
1 tsp Greenfields Sumac
Juice of ½ lemon
Small handful of fresh parsley, chopped
Himalayan Pink Salt (Fine), to taste
Cracked Black Pepper, to taste
Preheat oven to 200°C (fan 180°C). Place the spatchcocked poussin on a baking tray.
Mix the honey, Ras El Hanout, and olive oil into a glaze. Brush generously over the poussin, season with salt and pepper. Roast for 40–45 minutes, basting once halfway through, until golden and cooked through.
Meanwhile, prepare the freekeh pilaf. Sauté onion in a little olive oil until soft. Add freekeh, stir for 2 minutes, then pour in chicken stock. Simmer for 20 minutes until tender and water absorbed. Stir through drained barberries and parsley.
Mix yoghurt, lemon juice, and sumac to make the sauce. Chill until needed.
Serve the poussin halves on a bed of freekeh pilaf with a dollop of sumac yoghurt. Drizzle over extra honey glaze if desired.
