Categories     Dinner

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 large onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
ginger, peeled and grated, 1 inch (2 1/2 cm) piece
1 jalapeño, or green chile, seeded and sliced
2 tablespoons garam masala
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups fresh tomato, diced
15 oz chickpeas, drained and rinsed, 2 cans
½ cup water
½ lemon, juiced
¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large stock pot or dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  • Add onion and cook until onion becomes translucent and begins to brown, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Add garlic, ginger, and jalapeño. Continue to cook over medium heat until garlic is fragrant and jalapeño is tender, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add garam masala, turmeric, salt, and pepper then continue to cook for 1-2 minutes.
  • Add tomatoes, chickpeas, and water. Stir to incorporate, making sure to use the spoon the scrape off any brown bits that have appeared on the bottom or sides of the pot.
  • As the tomatoes break down, the mixture should take on the texture of a thick stew. Add more water if needed before bringing everything to a simmer and then cover with a lid.
  • Once covered, cook for 15 minutes while stirring occasionally.
  • Remove lid, reduce heat to low and mix in the lemon juice and chopped cilantro. Cook over low heat 1-2 minutes until the cilantro has wilted and turned bright green.
  • Serve over basmati rice or with a side of naan.
  • Enjoy!

CHICKEN AND CHICKPEA TAGINE



Chicken and Chickpea Tagine image

Like many dishes that rely on combinations of spices, a tagine, which is a slowly braised stew, may look more intimidating to cook than it is. Even with shortcuts, the results are exotic in flavor and appearance. My version of this tagine may not compare to those that begin with toasting and grinding spices and peeling grapes, but it is easily executed and, I think, divine. Some things to look out for: First, work with dark-meat chicken only and be aware that tagines are on the dry side, so don't add liquid to the sauce unless it is threatening to burn. Home-cooked chickpeas and fresh tomatoes are, of course, preferable to canned varieties, but in this dish the differences are not marked. Do, however, use a vanilla bean, not vanilla extract.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tablespoons corn or canola oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, peeled and thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt
Pinch nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Pinch cayenne
1 1/2 to 2 cups chopped tomatoes (canned are fine; drain excess liquid)
4 cups chickpeas (canned are fine; drain and rinse first)
1/2 cup raisins or chopped pitted dates
1/2 vanilla bean
8 chicken thighs, or 4 leg-thigh pieces, cut in two
Chopped cilantro or parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Put oil and butter in a large skillet or casserole, which can be covered later, and turn heat to medium high. When butter melts, add onion, and cook, stirring occasionally, until it softens, 5 to 10 minutes. Add garlic, a large pinch of salt and spices. Cook, stirring, for about 30 seconds. Add tomatoes, chickpeas, raisins and vanilla, and bring to a boil. (If mixture is very dry, add about 1/2 cup water.) Taste, and add salt as necessary.
  • Sprinkle chicken pieces with salt, and nestle them into sauce. Cover, and 5 minutes later adjust heat so mixture simmers steadily. Cook until chicken is very tender, 45 minutes to an hour. Taste, and adjust seasoning. Then garnish, and serve with couscous.

Tips:

  • Use a quality chicken broth. A good chicken broth will add a lot of flavor to your dish. If you don't have time to make your own, you can use a store-bought broth, but be sure to choose one that is low in sodium.
  • Don't overcook the chickpeas. Chickpeas should be cooked until they are tender, but not mushy. Overcooked chickpeas will lose their shape and flavor.
  • Add the vegetables at the right time. The vegetables in this dish should be cooked until they are tender, but still have a little bit of crunch. Add them to the pot in the order listed in the recipe, so that they cook evenly.
  • Season the dish to taste. Add salt and pepper to taste, and adjust the other seasonings as desired. You may also want to add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of yogurt to brighten the flavors.

Conclusion:

This chickpea and chicken recipe is a flavorful, healthy, and easy-to-make meal. It's perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual lunch. Serve it with rice, quinoa, or pita bread, and enjoy!
