Chicken Tagine with Spiced Brussels Sprouts and Feta

by BBC Good Food

Joe Wicks’ tasty sprout recipe balances earthy, sweet and spicy flavours, using tender chicken thighs, chickpeas and cheese for a hearty festive stew.

Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Heat two thirds of the coconut oil in a large flameproof casserole dish over a medium heat. When melted and hot, add the onion, pepper and garlic. Cook, stirring regularly, for 3 -4 mins or until just starting to soften. Increase the heat to maximum and add the chicken thighs. Fry everything together for about 3 mins, stirring occasionally.

Step 2

Sprinkle in the ground cinnamon, turmeric and smoked paprika, squeeze in the tomato purée and fry, stirring almost constantly, for 1 min. Pour in the stock and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and partially cover with a lid. After 30 mins, add the dried apricots and chickpeas, and continue to simmer for a further 10 mins.

Step 3

While the tagine is bubbling away, heat the remaining third of coconut oil in a frying pan over a high heat. When melted, add the cumin seeds, toast for 10 secs, then add the shredded sprouts. Fry the sprouts over the high heat, stirring almost constantly, for 5 mins, by which time they should have softened and browned in places.

Step 4

Serve the tagine in a large bowl, scatter over the fried sprouts, crumble over the feta and finish with the coriander.
