  • Persian Chicken for Higgies

    I thought from your comments that this might be something you would really like Higgies. I could be wrong...

    In a Dutch oven (large pot) in olive oil, fry thick slices of 2 large eggplants, or 6 Japanese,
    (Remove each item before frying the next and put all in the same bowl for keeping warm.)
    fry 2.5 lbs uncoated chicken thighs with skin, that have been cut in half to expose open bone (have butcher do it), until golden (does not need to be done).

    fry 15 shallots or 1-2 large red onion cut as for fajitas (in half lengthwise, then sliced lengthwise).

    Then add a little more oil and fry until starting to brown 16 oz. small whole crimini mushrooms, or thick cut larger ones.

    In the same pot, make sure you have at least 4T olive oil and add ¼ cup tumeric powder (or 4 pieces fresh whole tumeric root that has been crushed in a spice grinder or minced with a sharp knife, 2t cumin powder (or 2T cumin seed), 4t coriander powder, 1T kosher salt. Stir in oil for a minute, don’t let scorch. Pour in 1 cup water, when starts to thicken, pour in 1 cup more and add the rest of the ingredients back into the pot. Cover with water, add 2 cups chopped fresh coriander (cilantro), cover and simmer for 1 hour and a half to 2 hours.

    It will be thick like a stew. It is traditionally served with steamed rice, and whole leaves of romaine lettuce, fresh stems of coriander, white onions simply cut in half and then the large layers peeled away, and radishes. I can imagine that some sort of substitute of chopped cauliflower with pine nuts and browned butter would be good too, and the fresh veggies.

                    A dutch oven is just a big pot with a lid.

                      Well, I guess technically...but I'd really love one of those big cast iron ones...because I think with a dutch oven you are supposed to be able to put the lid on and then bury it (or cover the lid at least) in hot coals...right?

                            Where are you registered? Or registering if you haven't already done so?

                              Yep, just a large pot and should be heavy. You probably have one. If you put one on your registry, make it a cast iron one that is porcelain coated. They come in all colors and it is a good wedding present. I won't say a brand because there are several and teh price ranges vary greatly, so shop around then put on what you want. Congrats on the best choice for life you will ever make!! I was married once and I think my very long time man friend is playing his cards right, so I will most likely do it again! For many years I didn't think I would. I think it is better to be married. Good choice
