Notes from Rouba

  • Traditionally, this recipe is made with dry white beans.
  • You can cook this recipe the day before.
  • You can make it with or without meat.
  • Arabian spice is my blend known in the Middle East as Baharat or 7-spice blend. You can find it at Middle Eastern grocery stores and various supermarkets. Otherwise, you can substitute with 5-spice or allspice.

Method

Step 1.

In a pot, sauté the chopped onion and garlic over medium heat. Add chicken and allspice and mix until well combined (approximately 1 minute). Add passata sauce and water and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer for 15 minutes.

Step 2.

Add washed beans. Season with salt and continue to simmer for approximately 15 minutes or until the sauce slightly thickens. Stir in the coriander.
