What are you cooking for dinner? #2

Tandoori chicken, tomato and cucumber salad and homemade naan with raita

A chickpea stew. I sometimes add chorizo to it but not today.


INGREDIENTS

• 2 tbsp / 30 ml oil (I used olive oil)
• 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 1 medium red onion, finely chopped
• 3 tsp cumin (ground)
• 1½ tsp smoked paprika (ground)
• ¼-½ tsp cayenne pepper or hot chilli powder
• ½ tsp salt
• 2-3 tsp brown sugar
• black pepper, to taste
• 2 x 400 g tins of diced tomatoes
• 1 tbsp of tomato paste
• 1½ cups of cooked chickpeas
• 200 g of spinach
• cooked rice (I used brown), to serve with

METHOD

1. Heat up the oil in a large frying pan. Add chopped onion and fry on a low heat until almost translucent, stirring from time to time.
2. Add chopped garlic. Keep on stirring frequently until the onion is translucent and garlic softens completely and releases its beautiful aroma.
3. Add all the ground spices to the fried onion and garlic mixture and stir them around well. Fry them off gently for a minute or two stirring the whole time as they burn easily.
4. Add tomato paste to the pan and stir it into the onion and garlic mixture.
5. Add tomatoes to the pan, salt and half of the sugar. Let the sauce thicken by simmering it on a low heat with no lid on. Give the sauce a good stir from time to time.
6. Once the sauce thickens, taste it and season with some black pepper and more sugar if needed.
7. Stir in cooked chickpeas and let them warm through. Now add in the spinach and place the lid on to let spinach wilt and cook in the steam. If you are not in a rush, you can gently pan-fry the spinach in a little olive oil and garlic separately and then add it to the dish, but that’s optional.
8. Serve over rice.

I’m going to try David Lebovitz’s Chickpea Shakshuka which he mentioned today in his latest blog post. Pictures from his post.

any ideas for entry level thai for my kids so we can all enjoy? for example, for a curry I started them on a Korma and now they'll also eat a Chicken Tikka and with Chinese they'll have egg fried rice and duck pancakes. I'm at a loss with Thai.....

Some thai places do a yellow curry that is really mild.

Try this one. It's nice and zesty and not spicy. I also add bamboo shoots is my fav part. https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/thai-green-chicken-curry?amp

My girls will eat a Thai green or red curry but it’s homemade so I can make it a little milder than a takeaway.. my son sits and eats boiled rice
