Zubereitung von Chicken With Dates And Moroccan Spices
- Pat 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs dry and sprinkle with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Dredge in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour.
- Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a heavy large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- Add half of the chicken pieces to the pot and cook until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes per side, turning occasionally. Transfer to a baking sheet or platter.
- Repeat with the remaining chicken pieces.
- Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of fat from the pot and discard.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add 2 large shallots, thinly sliced, to the pot.
- Sauté until golden, about 6 minutes.
- Add 2 cinnamon sticks, 1 inch piece of fresh ginger (grated), 1 tsp ground cumin, 1/2 tsp ground turmeric, and 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional).
- Stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Increase heat to high. Add 1 1/2 cups chicken broth and 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice.
- Bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until shallots begin to soften, about 18 minutes.
- Place chicken pieces atop the shallots in the pot.
- Bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the juices run clear when the thickest part of a drumstick is pierced with a knife, about 25 minutes.
- Transfer chicken and shallots to a platter and tent with foil.
- Boil the juices in the pot until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in 1 cup pitted Medjool dates and the remaining 2 tablespoons lemon juice.
- Reduce heat and simmer gently until dates are heated through, about 2 minutes.
- Pour the sauce and dates over the chicken.
- Sprinkle with 1/4 cup slivered almonds and 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro. Serve immediately with couscous.
