Sweet And Spicy Chicken And White Bean Stew
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups finely chopped onion
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 (15.5-ounce) can cannellini beans or other white beans, undrained
- 3/4 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup light coconut milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tablespoon chopped peeled fresh lemongrass (about 1 stalk)
- 1 (14.5-ounce) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 (8-ounce) baking potato, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add cardamom, cloves, and garlic to pan; cook 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Add onion; saute 8 minutes or until tender. Add chili powder, turmeric, and coriander; cook 30 seconds. Add beans and chicken; stir to coat. Add milk, 1/2 cup water, lemongrass, tomatoes, and potato to pan. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 30 minutes or until potato is tender. Serve with cilantro.
- Wine note: With its layered spices and distinctly Asian ingredients, this chicken and bean stew finds its match in an off-dry riesling like Blue Fish Sweet Riesling 2007 ($11) from Germany. The wine's peachy, tropical sweetness nicely balances the heat of the dish, while its vibrant acidity cuts through the richness of coconut milk. -Jeffery Lindenmuth
