Moroccan Braised Chicken
Serves: 6
Ingredients
Directions
Heat wine in a small pot until just bubbling. Pour over currants and let stand while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
Heat one tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet or pot with a tight fitting lid over medium heat. Add onions and cook until they are clear, about ten minutes. Add garlic and cook one more minute. Move onions to the side and add remaining tablespoon of oil in the pan. Season oil with curry powder, coriander, cumin and cayenne pepper and cook one minute. Mix with the onions and add chicken pieces to the pan. Season tops with salt and pepper. Cover with onions and brown chicken for five minutes on each side.
Add chicken broth, currants and wine. Cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 10 minutes. Add the carrots and cauliflower, cover and cook 20 more minutes. Uncover and cook for 15 to 20 more minutes until the vegetables are crisp tender. Make sure the chicken is covered with the onions and spoon some of the sauce over the chicken every few minutes to keep it from getting dry.
Meanwhile, bring the water to a boil and add the quinoa. Cover and cook until the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork. Serve stew with quinoa.
