Chicken Maraq

Chicken Maraq recipe from Oman

Our fictional trip around The World for £4 or less took us to Oman last night. This was one of our favourite recipes so far, with a new ingredient for us - Black Limes! These are dry preserved Limes which I found in the local Halal Continental shop. We only actually needed 2 but ended up with 500g. I can see these sneaking into all sorts of dishes. They really pack a citrus punch!

Ingredients:-

½ a small Chicken cut into portions – Drummer, thigh, wing, breast cubed etc.

A large knob of Butter or Margarine

1 Onion, chopped

2 cloves of Garlic, minced

Omani Spices (See below)

¼ of a tube of Tomato Paste

3 large Tomatoes, chopped

2 Black Limes, cut in half

1250 ml of Chicken Stock (We had our own in the fridge from the Chicken carcass Sue rended down a while ago – But Stock cubes are cool)

3 medium Potatoes, peeled and cubed

Omani Spices

Ingredients:-

1 handful of chopped Coriander

Cumin

Cinamon

Black Pepper

Cloves

Turmeric

½ tsp of each dried ingredient.

Method:-

(1) Fry the Onion in the Butter / Margarine until golden and softened.

(2) Add the Chicken pieces and cook for a further 5 minutes.

(3) Add the Garlic, Omani Spices, Tomato Paste, chopped Tomatoes and Black Limes.

(4) Add the Chicken Stock and stir for 2 minutes.

(5) Add more water if the sauce seem too thick, but you are aiming for quite a thick sauce.

(6) Bring to the boil them simmer for 15 minutes.

(7) Add the Potato and simmer for a further 20 minutes until the Potato is softened but not breaking down.

We enjoyed ours with hand made Gluten free flat breads (Recipe Here), Turmeric Rice and a sprinkling of chopped Coriander to add a bit of colour.

Chicken Poppers recipe

Some folk like to go to McWimpy or Whopper King for their Chicken Poppers / Nuggets. We’d rather cook them at home and know what’s in them. Both Sue and I have done our time it those sorts of restaurants. But really it’s so easy and quick…..

Ingredients:-

Chicken Breast cut into 2Cm cubes
Soda Water
Self Raising Flour (Gluten free for us)
Garlic Salt
Ground Cloves
Ground Turmeric

Method:-

(1) Mix the dry ingredients with enough Soda Water to make a stiff batter.
(2) In a bowl with a little extra Flour coat the Chicken so that the batter will stick better.
(3) Heat a fryer to 180c.
(4) Coat small batches of Chicken pieces and fry until golden brown. If you have a kitchen probe you are looking for 75c in the middle.
(5) Drain on kitchen paper before serving.

We served ours with hand cut chips and home made Coleslaw. A little fresh Parsley added a bit of colour.
