Technique to learn

Legume Simmering

Cooking tender beans within a fragrant broth base to absorb aromatics and form a thick, cohesive gravy.

Instructions

Step 1: Heat vegetable oil in a deep saucepan over medium-high heat.
Step 2: Add chicken thigh pieces, sprinkle with half the salt, and sear for 5 minutes until lightly browned, then transfer to a plate.
Step 3: Add the chopped yellow onion, garlic, and minced ginger to the same pot and cook for 4 minutes until translucent.

Step 4: Stir in the chopped ripe tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes until they break down into a thick sauce.

Step 5: Return the seared chicken pieces to the pot along with the drained navy beans and halal chicken broth.

Step 6: Bring to a boil, cover with a lid, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 15 minutes until chicken is cooked through and sauce thickens.

Cooking tips

Crush a small portion of the white beans against the pot wall near the end of cooking to naturally thicken the stew gravy.
Use well-ripened tomatoes to achieve a rich reddish color and mild sweetness.
