Harissa chicken and aubergine traybake
Background
This Harissa and chicken traybake is lovely, slightly spicy dish, which is perfect for midweek or weekend family meals. Serve it with rice, couscous or flatbread and a crispy salad on the side. I used mixed chickpeas (black and normal) for adding a bit more colour to the dish, but you can use just the standard version.
Ingredients
- 6 baby aubergine, halved
- 1 onion
- 1 bell pepper
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 tin chopped tomatoes
- 1 tsp dried marjoram or oregano
- 1 tsp harissa paste
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 star anise
- 250g chicken breast fillet
- 1 tin mixed chickpeas
- Parsley leaves
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 170°C.
- Cut the onion into wedges, the red pepper and aubergine in half. Put them in a baking tray, then season with salt and pepper and scatter the cumin seeds on top and drizzle with oil.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
- Meanwhile, mix the chopped tomatoes with the harissa pasta, garlic, paprika and marjoram. Season with salt & pepper. Cut the chicken breast into slices. Drain the chickpeas.
- When the vegetables are tender, take the tray out and pour over the tomato mixture. Add the chickpeas, and combine well. Using the tin, add some water to cover the vegetables well. Cover the tray with foil and bake for another 15-20 minutes or until you get a thick sauce.
- Take the tray out and place the chicken on top, season with salt. Cover again and bake for 10 minutes. Check if the chicken is cooked through, if not, remove the foil and bake for another 5 minutes or so.
- Serve with chopped parsley scattered on top.
