Syrian Chicken











In case you have been wondering I have not become a vegetarian, this lovely recipe makes my point.

This is adapted from Karen Martini's book Cooking at Home.
Coat several pieces of chicken in a mixture of ground cumin, ground cinnamon, ground turmeric, salt and pepper
Brown chicken in a fry pan, set aside.

Saute
2 Diced Onions
100gms of ginger cut into matchsticks
5 garlic cloves smashed
2 roughly cut tomatoes
2 sliced red chillies
When soft return chicken to pan
Add
1tsp ground cumin
Liberal sprinkle of thyme
2 tbs honey
Zest and juice of one lemon
Half a cup of sultanas
3 tsp vegetable stock
Cover all with water (don't go overboard) simmer to reduce and thicken sauce

Serve on a bed of cous cous or rice
