Saffron Chicken

This is an excellent dish which should make any chicken lover mouth water. Hats of to a Moroccan cook who introduced this to us.

1 med. onion.
1/2 chicken - cut up in large segments.
2 raw tomatoes - diced.
8 cloves of garlic - paste.
small piece of ginger - small pieces
1 table spoon of dry coriander powder.
2 strands of saffron.
1 teaspoon of sea salt (or as per taste).

Put 2 tablespoons of veg. oil. 1 tablespoon of butter, 1/2 cup of water in a pot.

Put all the above ingredients and cover the pott. Put on full heat. When the water reaches boiling point, check to see if the chicken is half cooked; then turn to meduim heat. Add 1 potato (4 quarters). Cover and let it simmer till potatoes are done.

Saffron give the entire stew a very unique and delicious taste. This is a very fool proof receipe and a must to all to have.

Enjoy.
PS: Trying to figure out how to put a photo of our cooked results.
