No one asked me for my tagine recipe, but I'm gonna give it to you fucks anyway. Shit is good. I don't think you'll be disappointed. I had intended on making this last night, but I was irritated by the Packers loss so I ended up not doing it.
Here we go...
Ingredients:
- Two boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
- 3ish sweet potatoes cubed (depends on the size). If they are monsters maybe 2.
- Two carrots sliced into decent sized chunks
- 1 can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 can of diced tomatoes, with the juice
- 1 can of chicken broth
- One onion finely chopped
- 4 or 5 cloves of garlic, minced. I normally use a garlic press to make this super easy
- 1tb sugar
- 1tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp coriander
- A few dashes of cayenne
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp tumeric
- 1 tsp curry powder
- 1 tsp cumin
Instructions:
Get a big ol dutch oven and put a little olive oil in there. Maybe 1-2 tbs. Set the temp to medium high until the oil comes up to heat. Put the onion in there and cook until almost translucent. Salt and pepper the chicken breast cubes and add. Cook until almost done, stirring frequently. Add the garlic cloves, until fragrant. Maybe 30s - 1 minute. Add in the chicken broth, diced tomatoes, seasonings, carrots, chickpeas and sweet potatoes. Bring to a boil. Drop heat to a simmer and stir occasionally. You'll know it's done when everything gets nice and thick as the starch releases from the sweet potatoes. Probably like an hour, maybe a little less.
Serve with couscous, rice, or naan. Or both rice and naan if you don't give a **** about carbs. I don't think I missed anything but I may edit this later.
Your house will smell wonderful.
Other ways to punch this up - fresh cilantro, more heat with peppers, crushed cashews, dried fruit (apricots, raisins, etc).
