Smart Tips
-
Chicken Selection: Opt for dark meat like thighs for more flavor and juiciness.
-
Potato Choices: Use starchy potatoes such as Russets or Yukon Golds for their ability to absorb the flavors and hold their shape in the stew.
-
Tomato Paste Browning: Sauté the tomato paste for a few minutes to deepen the flavor before adding the broth.
-
Slow Simmer: Allow the stew to simmer gently to let the flavors meld together and the meat become tender.
-
Fresh Herb Finish: Fresh parsley not only adds a pop of color but also a burst of freshness.
-
Serving Suggestion: Serve with rice, bulgur, or bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
-
Make-Ahead Meal: This stew can be made in advance, and it tastes even better the next day as the flavors have more time to develop.
-
Balanced Heat: If you're sensitive to spice, start with less cayenne pepper and adjust according to taste.
