A recipe- Persian chicken stew in the Crock Pot

Published by pastabites on December 12, 2018December 12, 2018

Inspiring Instagram posts

Months ago I saw an Instagram post and thought the stew in the photo looked wonderfully comforting, so I searched for a recipe I could replicate but never actually got round to make it. I think the inspiring post on a Persian Chicken stew was by chef and renowned author Sabrina Ghayour

Using the CrockPot

Fast forward a few months and I have been involved in the CrockPot Challenge, which I am pleased to say I have successfully completed and I am still going. I am now used to my Crockpot and have been using it quite a lot, both as a slow cooker and as a steam / pressure cooker. I simply love the idea of finding a meal ready without effort, because the little effort is done hours before. You can go out or actually get things done, and voila’ the food is there waiting for you. 

It does take a while to get used to; the seasoning is tricky, and you need to add more than regular cooking I feel. Sometimes, because you can’t stir, some items ‘burn’ a little (caramelised, more like it) and some others don’t at all. But overall I am very pleased with it and I am going to continue using it for the foreseable future. You can even make yogurt with it so that’s part of my plan too!

I loved the Fenesian stew I made, so I am sharing the recipe below. I served it with mash potato and roasted heritage carrots in orange juice.

- going back to museums and cinemas
- being able to fly home to see my family in June
- our regular breakfast whether in person or on video with @annalovelljewellery and Norman

- a fabulous weekend in Yorkshire with @rrandall 
- August in Sapri diving and relaxing, which did so much for me way beyond my expectations
- another staycation in gorgeous Lavenham in ‘our’ cottage in September 
- October half term visiting Rome and Napoli and seeing friends I had missed dearly like @paolomixo 
- November cleaning a beach, a personal milestone
- December skiing and seeing little person enjoying himself with @giorgiodelcast
