Turkish chicken recipe
- 1 kg (2.2lbs) chicken thighs
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 tbsp ground allspice
- 3 cinnamon sticks
- 1 kg (2.2lbs) tomatoes, diced
- 3 long green chillies
- 100 g (3.5oz) pine nuts, toasted
- 100 g (3.5oz) currants
- 2 handfuls flat-leaf parsley
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 1 pinch freshly cracked black pepper
- Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces.
- Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan.
- Fry the onion over medium heat for 10-15 minutes, or until soft but not browned.
- Add the chicken, allspice and cinnamon sticks and stir to coat the chicken.
- Add the tomato, chillies, pine nuts, currants and parsley.
- Sprinkle with a little salt and lots of black pepper.
- Cover and cook over low heat for 40 minutes, or until the chicken is tender.
- Serve the chicken with rice pilaf, cucumber, red (Spanish) onion, coriander leaves and mint leaves.
- Traditionally the rice is cooked with the spices, pine nuts and currants, but I prefer to cook them with the chicken.
