Chicken curry with chickpeas

topcook.tomathouse.com

Ingredients:

  • 550 g skinless and boneless chicken thighs, cut into quarters
  • 2 cans (560 g each) of canned chickpeas (do not discard the brine)
  • 4 cups shredded coleslaw
  • 5 tbsp. l. olive oil
  • 1.5 tbsp. curry powder
  • 5 crushed garlic cloves
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro, plus extra for garnish
  • Juice of 1/2 lime
  • 1 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
  • Hot Caribbean sauce with pepper for serving
  • 2 naan breads, warmed and folded into an envelope

Preparation:

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then add it to the pan. Cook for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned. Add the curry powder and half the garlic. Cook for about 1 minute, stirring occasionally, until the garlic softens slightly.

    Add the chickpeas and brine to the saucepan, stir, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and simmer until the chicken is tender, about 12 minutes.
  2. While the chicken is cooking, puree the remaining garlic, cilantro, 2 tablespoons olive oil, lime juice, and vinegar in a mini food processor or blender until smooth. Heat another 2 tablespoons olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the cilantro paste and cook for about a minute, until dark green. Transfer the paste to a bowl and add the cabbage mixture, season with salt.

    Place the chicken curry on plates and top with hot pepper and cilantro sauce. Serve with naan breads.
