Technique to learn

Shallow Braising

Searing meat and finishing it covered in a shallow layer of seasoned broth.

Instructions

Step 1: Heat olive oil in a wide skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 2: Add halal chicken thighs skin-side down and sear for 6 minutes until crisp and golden brown, then flip and cook 2 minutes more.
Step 3: Transfer chicken to a plate and lower heat to medium; add sliced onion and minced garlic, sautéing for 3 minutes.

Step 4: Stir in crumbled saltbush, cracked black pepper, and halal chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the skillet.

Step 5: Return chicken skin-side up to the skillet, cover with a lid, and simmer on low heat for 18 minutes until fully cooked through.

Step 6: Spoon the chicken and broth into serving bowls and spoon fresh finger lime pearls over top right before serving.

Cooking tips

Finger lime pearls add fresh citrus acidity that balances rich braised chicken broth.
Do not boil finger lime pearls; add them raw at the very end.
