Khoresht Fesenjan ( my version of Persian stew)
Ingredients:
1 md. onion diced
1 c pitted dates
1c craisins
1 c small fresh tomatoes
2 Bay leaves
2 cloves of garlic sliced
1 tsp cumin
1 carton of low sodium chicken stock
2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 15 oz can of black beans - rinsed.
1-2 tbsp. turmeric
Pepper and salt
Get out your crockpot:
Toss in:
the onion, the pitted dates, the craisins, the tomatoes, the bay leaves, the garlic, the cumin and the chicken broth.
Turn on High for about 2 hours and then on Low for 6 hours.
Now take the chicken thighs and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Put them in a oven proof bowl and rub them with pepper and turmeric. Salt if you wish. Make sure they’re all well coated. Put the chicken in a 400 F oven and cook for 45 minutes. Add to the crockpot.
About 2 hours before eating add the black beans and heat through. Dig out the bay leaves. Serve over a bed of rice and enjoy.
