Steps:
- Heat the oven to 450 degrees.
- Wash and dry the chicken and stuff its cavity with the whole, peeled onion, the sprig of tarragon and parsley. Rub the skin with olive oil.
- Place the chicken in a roasting pan in the oven, then reduce the heat to 350 degrees. Roast the chicken for about 45 minutes, until it is tender.
- While the chicken is roasting, make the walnut sauce.
- Saute the chopped onion in one tablespoon of olive oil, until it is soft.
- In a large bowl, combine the onion with the walnuts, vinegar, garlic, coriander, red pepper, chicken stock, fenugreek and turmeric. Add enough turmeric to give the mixture a pleasing yellowish cast. Serve with the chicken.
