Ingredients

2 cups chicken, cooked or raw (Excellent use for leftover roast!)

1/2 medium red onion, chopped

1.5 tsp garlic

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tbsp tomato paste

1 cup chicken broth (Try for homemade--It adds richness)

400g (1 can, yields) chickpeas, rinsed and drained

2 tbsp Two Wheeler Creek Lemon Myrtle Liqueur (Subsitute 1 tbsp lemon juice and 1 tbsp white wine)

1/2 tsp salt

2 cups fresh spinach, chiffonade

Parmesan Cheese, for garnish

Directions

In a shallow, wide dish (preferably a real tajine) with a tight fitting, domed lid, mix chopped chicken, red onion, garlic, cumin, cinnamon and tomato paste.

Mix over low heat until the meat is well coated in spice.

Pour chicken broth over the meat mixture and cover tightly, braising slowly until warmed through.

If using raw chicken, do not coninue until the meat flesh begins to lose its raw translucency.

Stir in the chickpeas and lemon myrtle liqueur, again cooking tightly covered on low until warmed completely through.

Season with salt, to taste, and add additional liquid (broth) as needed to achieve prefered consistency. (Can range from thick stew to brothier souplike consistency)

To chiffonade, layer fresh spinach leaves, one ontop of another, in a small stack, tightly roll lengthwise and slice thinly across the roll to achieve ribbons of spinach.

Once the stew has cooked fully, remove from heat and sprinkle in 3/4 of the spinach chiffonade and mix gently until the spinach wilts.

Serve over couscous or steamed rice, garnishing with remaining spinach and a light dusting of parmesan cheese.
