Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200C/390F/Gas 6.
  2. Place the poussin on baking tray and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until cooked and golden.
  3. To make the sauce, melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the onion and soften for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add the tarragon, rosemary, white wine and cream and reduce down for 4-5 minutes.
  5. For the new potatoes, mix the new potatoes with the melted butter and season.
  6. To serve, place the poussin on a serving plate and pour over the sauce. Serve with the new potatoes.
