INGREDIENTS

  • 4 chicken thighs (or a 1 kg chicken)
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar
  • 1 shallot, minced
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • 1 + 2 tablespoons Marcel Senchou Colombo
  • 1 teaspoon coriander powder
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 aubergine, sliced into rings
  • 1 courgette, sliced into rings
  • 2 large carrots, sliced into rings
  • 3 potatoes, cut into large cubes
  • 2 tablespoons Marcel Senchou thyme
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper, or 1 green chilli pepper
  • juice of one lime
  • 15 cl coconut milk

1. Prepare the marinade by mixing a shallot, 4 crushed garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon vinegar, 200 ml water, 1 teaspoon coriander and 1 tablespoon Colombo.

2. Pour the marinade over the salted and peppered chicken, and leave overnight in the fridge (if you’re in a hurry, 4-6 hours).

3. In a large casserole, fry the chopped onion with a crushed clove of garlic.

4 When the onion is golden, add the chicken and brown on all sides, gradually adding the juices from the marinating process and a little water if necessary. Add the diced potatoes, sliced carrots, thyme, parsley and chilli. Cover and leave to cook for 15 minutes.

5 After this time, stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons Colombo, diluted in a little water, and the sliced aubergines and courgettes. Mix well and simmer, covered, for 15 minutes.

6 Then pour in the coconut milk, lemon juice and the last clove of crushed garlic. Leave to cook for a further 5 minutes, uncovered, over a medium heat. Adjust the seasoning if necessary, and serve hot with rice.
