Easy Harissa Chicken Curry
Harissa is a North African spice paste sometimes described as the 'national condiment of Tunisia'. It's also widely used in Morocco and Algeria, particularly in meat stews and couscous dishes. This curry is served with cool yoghurt and is cooked with potatoes, so no need for rice. Just grab a spoon and tuck in!

Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 portion recipe.
Boil a kettle
Chop the potatoes roughly into small pieces
Peel the ginger (scrape the skin off with a teaspoon) and finely chop (or grate)
Add 1-2 tbsp olive oil to a large pot with a matching lid over a medium-high heat
Once hot, add the potatoes and cook for 2-3 min or until browned lightly on the outside
Meanwhile, slice the spring onions finely, discarding the root ends and keeping the whites and greens separated
Coat the chicken with half of the harissa paste in a small bowl, then season generously with salt and pepper and mix well
Add the chicken to the pot and cook for 2 min or until the chicken is brown and seared all over
Meanwhile, dissolve the stock cube[s] in 500ml [1L] boiled water
Add the stock to the pot
Stir well and bring to a boil over a high heat
Tip: scrape the bottom of the pot to prevent sticking!
Add the red lentils, ginger, 1 tbsp [2 tbsp] yoghurt, the remaining harissa paste and half the spring onion whites to the pot
Reduce to a medium-low heat and cook with a lid on for 7 min or until the lentils and potatoes are cooked through and most of the water has been absorbed
Meanwhile, combine the remaining yoghurt with the remaining whites of the spring onions
Mix well and season with salt and pepper
Give the chicken pot a good stir and add 100ml [200ml] boiled water if it is too dry
Serve up the curry with a dollop of yoghurt and garnish with the sliced spring onion greens
Enjoy!
