Ingredients
- 500g pumpkins , with skin on and seeds in
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large onion , sliced
- ½ tsp ground ginger
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 4 boneless and skinless chicken breasts, each cut into three pieces widthways
- 400g can whole peeled tomatoes , chopped
- 1-2 tsp sugar
- 2-3 tsp harissa
- 400g can chickpeas , drained and rinsed
- 3 tbsp chopped coriander
Instructions
- Peel the pumpkin, remove any seeds and fibrous bits and cut the flesh into bitesized pieces. Heat the oil in a large pan and fry the onion for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden. Stir in the ginger, cinnamon and the chicken pieces and cook for 3-5 minutes, turning to brown them slightly all over.
- Add the tomatoes, sugar and harissa, season and stir well. Add the chickpeas, pumpkin pieces and 4-5 tbsp water. Cover and cook for 20- 30 minutes or until the chicken and pumpkin are tender (the pumpkin releases its own water, but if it becomes too dry, add a drop more during the cooking to give you a juicy sauce). Stir in the chopped coriander before serving.
