FEEDS 4
INGREDIENTS
For the grilled chicken 🔥
- 650g chicken thighs
- 2 tsp paprika
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- For the stew
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, crushed/minced A thumb-size or ginger
- 1 red or yellow bell pepper, sliced
- A sprig of fresh thyme
- 2 tsp curry powder
- Freshly ground black pepper 1/2 tsp chilli flakes
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1tsp organic bouillon stock powder
- 400g passata or chopped/plum tomatoes
- 380g pack or tin of red kidney beans (drained and rinsed)
- Salt to taste
- Coriander to finish
Let’s get cooking!
1. Season chicken with paprika, black pepper and brush with oil. Grill for 10 minutes in a preheated oven or roast at 180C - 200C depending on the strength of your oven.
2. Start your stew by cooking the onions for 5 minutes until softened, then add garlic, ginger and peppers.
3. Add your dry spices and herbs, stir and leave to cook for a minute before adding 300ml of water (or stock cube dissolved in water if not using powder like I do) then add the tomatoes, or passata. Stir well and leave to cook covered on medium heat.
4. 10 minutes should be up and you can now add the chicken into the stew. Add the red kidney beans, season with salt and stir.
5. Cook for another 10 minutes, garnish with your favourite fresh herbs like coriander or basil.
6. Serve with rice, greens or your favorite vegetables.
Cook’s tip: Swap chicken for aubergines/cauliflower and cook in half the time, swap red kidney beans for chickpeas, black eyes beans or butter beans.
