Personally, I have mediterranean roots. This recipe is one my grandma always used to make when a member of the family wasn't feeling too well. This dinner contains anti-inflammatory ingredients and healthy fats.
​
What do you need:
- pinch of saffron threads
- 4 boneless chicken thighs
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 4 shallots, halved
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1/4th teaspoon turmeric
- half teaspoon coriander
- half teaspoon cumin
- 2 chopped tomatoes
- 10 green olive without pit
- 250 ml chicken broth
- 1 pickled lemon
- handful of parsley leaves
- seasalt
- black pepper
​
What to do:
1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Put the saffron in a small mortar and crush. Set aside.
2. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a refractory casserole over medium-high heat and brown the chicken all around for 2-3 minutes. Take the chicken from the pan and set aside.
3. Add shallot, garlic, saffron, turmeric, coriander and cumin. Cook gently for 5 minutes until the shallot is soft. Put the chicken back in the pan and sprinkle the tomatoes and olives over it.
4. Add the broth and boil. Cover and put in the oven for 45 minutes, until the chicken is soft and tender. Stir in the pickled lemon and parsley and serve.
