Instructions
1 Preheat oven to 180°C. Combine the pumpkinseeds and sesame seed on an oven tray and bake for 5 minutes, until toasted. Grind with half the peanuts, until a smooth paste forms.
2 Season the chicken pieces generously, then place in a saucepan with the stock and set over a low heat. Simmer very gently for 30 minutes, until just cooked, then set aside, covered with cling film.
3 Add the pumpkinseed mixture, onion, garlic, tomatillos and chillies to the saucepan and boil rapidly for 15 minutes. Add the parsley and most of spinach then purée with a stick blender, remove from the heat and return the chicken. Mix in the remaining peanuts and spinach, then serve with polenta.
