Comment préparer Algerian Tli Tli B Djedj Pasta With Chicken
- Cut 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 1-inch pieces.
- In a large pan, melt 4 tablespoons of ghee over medium heat. Add 1 large finely chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 tablespoon ras el hanout, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Cook for 1 minute more.
- Add 1 cup of water and cook for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Stir in 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas (drained and rinsed). Add enough water to cover the chicken and chickpeas.
- Add 1 (6-ounce) can tomato puree and 1 chicken bouillon cube. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes (or 40 minutes in a pressure cooker on med-high). If using a pan, add a little extra water if needed to prevent sticking.
- While the sauce simmers, prepare the pasta and eggs. Cook 1 cup of your favorite small pasta (orzo, tiny stars, shells, etc.) according to package directions, but slightly undercook – about 3-4 minutes. Drain well. If steaming pasta, follow step 10 and 11.
- Hard-boil 6 large eggs. Once cooled, peel and cut in half.
- In a bowl, gently toss the undercooked pasta with 1/2 cup of water and 1 teaspoon of olive oil or sunflower oil.
- Steam the pasta for 15 minutes, or until cooked through but still slightly firm. (Skip this step if boiling pasta).
- Remove the pasta from the steamer and fluff with a fork, adding a splash of water if it seems dry.
- In a large pan, gently combine the steamed pasta with the chicken sauce, adding a spoonful at a time, ensuring the pasta absorbs the sauce completely.
- The pasta should be moist and coated in sauce, not dry.
- Transfer the pasta to a large serving dish. Arrange the chicken pieces and egg halves on top, and drizzle with extra sauce.
- Serve immediately with a fresh green salad and crusty bread.
