Categories     Dinner

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 ½ cups raw cashews (see notes)
2 tablespoons oil (divided)
1 lb. chicken thighs or breasts
1 medium onion (chopped)
5 cloves garlic (chopped)
2 inch piece of ginger (peeled and chopped)
28 ounce can of crushed tomatoes
2 tablespoons brown sugar or coconut sugar (omit for Whole30)
Sea salt (to taste)
1 tablespoon garam masala
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
¼ to 1 teaspoon chili powder
Seeds from 4 cardamom pods

Steps:

  • Place the cashews and 1 ½ cups of water into your blender or food processor and blend on high until completely smooth. Pour into a bowl and set it aside. Don't clean your blender yet - you'll need it again.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until brown on both sides, about 10 minutes total. You don't need to cook the chicken all the way through. Chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
  • While the chicken is browning, start cooking the curry. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion to the pan and cook until it is soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and let it cook for 5 minutes more. Add all the spices to a small bowl while the onions are cooking.
  • Add the spices to the onions and let them cook for a minute, stirring the whole time. Pour the tomatoes into the pan and scrape the bottom of the pan. Carefully transfer to your blender and blend on high until smooth.
  • Pour the curry back into the pan, add the blended cashews, the chopped chicken, ½ cup of water, and (if using) the brown sugar. Bring the curry to a boil then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it cook for 10 minutes. Season to taste with sea salt.

CHICKEN WITH RAISINS



Chicken With Raisins image

I turn to this recipe -- adapted from the French chef Madeleine Kamman, who died in the summer of 2018 - when cool weather is on the horizon. Perhaps it's the dried fruit or chicken braised in a sauce (instead of being striped on the grill) that appeals to the season. But it's an easy winner for those first dinners when fall appears. Though plumped raisins are called for, other dried fruit, like diced figs or quartered prunes work well, too.

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     poultry, main course

Time 8h40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup black raisins
1/2 cup brandy
1 chicken, cut in 8 pieces
3 tablespoons walnut oil
Salt and ground black pepper
1/4 cup minced shallots
3/4 cup verjus (see note)
2 tablespoons glace de viande or de volaille (concentrated meat or chicken stock) or packaged roasted chicken base
3 tablespoons crème fraîche

Steps:

  • Place raisins in a bowl, add brandy and set aside to plump overnight or for at least 8 hours.
  • Make the chicken: Dry chicken pieces. Heat oil in a sauté pan on medium-high, add chicken, skin side down, season with salt and pepper, and sear until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Turn pieces and brown second side. Scatter shallots over chicken. Add verjus to the pan, cover, reduce heat to low and cook 15 to 20 minutes, basting chicken once, until chicken is cooked through.
  • Remove chicken to a dish and cover to keep warm. Add raisins with their brandy to the pan, bring to a simmer for a couple of minutes, then add glace de viande and crème fraîche. Cook for several minutes, until the sauce thickens enough to coat a spoon.
  • Return chicken to the pan, baste with the sauce, then transfer the contents of the pan to a warm, rimmed platter and serve.
