Ingredients

  • Apple juice (amount depends upon the size of the cooking pot)
  • 8 chicken thighs
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • A large bunch of coriander (cilantro chopped)
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 250 g ready-to-eat dried apricots
  • 100 g almond flakes
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • A large bunch of fresh mint chopped
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 onions thinly sliced
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp turmeric

Instructions

1. Heat 1 tbsp oil in casserole pot and lightly brown the chicken pieces. 2. Then add in the onions and garlic and sauté for about 4 mins. 3. Mix in the turmeric, cumin, cinnamon, ginger and paprika, and add in just enough apple juice to cover the meat. 4. Bring mixture to the boil, cover and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring frequently to ensure the chicken cooks evenly and doesn't dry out. 5.
