Very Cranberry Curry Chicken Stew

Hello foodies!

How was your thanksgiving?I hope you did not stuff your stomach too full to get tired reading more thanksgiving related recipe!This year is a little special because I dont have an oven anymore ( boo) this is what happen if you are living on a budget rent!But I thank God for a warm shelter!
So no oven = no turkey. We let the turkey take a day off this year- and put the lobster to work!Although days after... I completely missed having the turkey.Your earlier thought might be right about no thankgiving complete without turkey. Anyhow, since the oven is not available, the closest I can get to roasted turkey is a chicken stew!But boy was it really good! This cranberry curry chicken I made days after thanksgiving paid off the lack of cooking facility even more, I was pleasantly suprised how good it turned out.
Maybe you should try it too if you miss thanksgiving on a random day, have no oven or even for a change!

Here is the whats and the hows:


1/2 cup of Dried Cranberry
1 medium spanish onion chopped
2 cloves of garlic minced
2 tbsp of olive oil
1 cup of chopped tomatoes
1 green chillies seeded, chopped
2tbsp curry powder
enough salt
1tsp of brown sugar
4cm cinnamon stick

*Sautee the onion and garlic, chillies and cinnamon stick with the oil
*add in the cranberry, add curry powder

*let it simmered,add little water and sea salt to taste
*cover it to simmer for 45 minutes or untill the meat has cooked perfectly ( 74C)

I think to me, the cranberry curry chicken is a very
heart warming dish for the coming cold days!I hope everyone is getting ready for winter! That includes saving some space in your stomach for more spicy and comfort foods which will be featured in the next blogs!
