A wonderful meal for a cold night. (I hate cooked carrots. Cooking them this way makes them fall apart & become part of the broth. You still get the nutrients without actually biting into them.)
Ingredients:
3 skinless chicken pieces (2 leg quarters & 1 breast)
3 cups water
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 medium garlic cloves, cut in half
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
2 carrots, bite size
1/2 medium onion, chopped
3 -4 medium potatoes, peeled & cut into 1 inch pieces
Directions:
1. Sprinkle a small amount of salt, pepper, cumin, & paprika on the chicken. (About 1/2 teaspoon of each spice for all 3 pieces of chicken).
2. Pour 1 1/2 cups of water into the pressure cooker. Add the olive oil, tomato paste, garlic, & the rest of the spices into the pot. (Don't forget 1/2 teaspoon of salt, pepper, cumin, & paprika).
3. Note: If you are using a regular pot instead of a pressure cooker the cook times are tripled & you may need more water.
4. Place the chicken into the cooker & add the onions & carrot. Cook for 10 minutes, after it begins to hiss. (Regular pot, roughly 30 minutes).
5. Remove chicken & place on a plate. Put the potatoes & 1 1/2 cups of water into the pot & cook for 4 more minutes, after it begins to hiss. (Regular pot, 12-15 minutes).
6. While the potatoes are cooking break the chicken into small pieces (disregard the bones).
7. Once the potatoes are done add the chicken back into the pan & stir. Pour into a serving dish & serve with warm bread.
