Moroccan Chicken Stew

[dolphin__girl]

So this is kind of becoming the SCD food blog, but I made something new and awesome and need a space to share it. :o)

First off: SCD curry.

4 tsp. ground cumin seeds
4 tsp. ground coriander seeds
4 tsp. turmeric
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. cayenne
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
1/2 tsp.'s ground cardamom

Stir ingredients together well, and store in a small glass jar

Next, the curry/stew/thing:

4 lg chicken thighs or breasts

1 lg onion, chopped
3-4 cloves garlic, crushed
2 cups. chopped celery
1.5 cups strong chicken broth (I used 2 cups of my chicken zucchini soup)
1/3 to 1/2 cup dried shredded coconut (unsweetened)
3-4 tsp. SCD curry powder
1 small ginger root (2 branches)
½ tsp cayenne powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon (I use true cinnamon)
1 Tbsp coconut oil
2 tsp paprika
3-4 tsp chili powder
½ tsp. salt
½ tsp pepper

honey
coconut cream

1 bunch spinach
1 cup SCD yoghurt

1. Chop the onion, celery, garlic, and chicken and toss them into a big pot on medium. Whoosh it around until it starts to cook a bit.
2. Add the chicken broth.
3. Grate the ginger root in a fine grater and squeeze the grated ginger through a sieve.
4. Add the remaining ingredients up to pepper and heat until bubbling. Then turn the heat down to a low simmer.
5. When the stew/curry/thing has simmered for a bit and the chicken is cooked, adjust the salt, honey, coconut oil, and coconut cream to taste.
6. Continue to simmer until the desired consistency is reached.
7. When the stew is just about done, add the yoghurt. Start with 1/2 cup and continue to add to taste. I ended up with almost a cup in mine.
8. Add the bunch of spinach until it cooks down, and voila. Awesomesauce.
