Servings: persons

2 tablespoons butter
1 brown onion medium, peeled and diced
3 chicken breasts diced
1 cup walnuts
2 cloves garlic peeled and minced
1/4 cup ground almonds
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 pinch ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 lime
2 cups chicken stock
2 tablespoons honey
1/4 cup pomegranate molasses
1 bunch flat-leaf parsley

1
Melt the butter in a large frying pan/skillet and add the onions. Fry for 2 minutes and then add the chicken. Cook for 5 minutes, until sealed, stirring occasionally.
2
Whilst the chicken is cooking, place the walnuts in a food processer and blend just until they turn to fine crumbs. Don't over-blend or you'll end up with walnut paste.
3
Add the walnuts, garlic and ground almonds to the pan and cook with the chicken for 1 minute. Add in the turmeric, salt, pepper, cinnamon and lime zest, stir and cook for a further minute.
4
Add the chicken stock, honey and three-quarters of the molasses. Stir, bring to a gentle bubble and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5
Taste the stew, add more molasses if needed. Cook for a further 5 minutes and then serve on top of boiled rice or cous cous.
6
Top with pomegranate seeds and chopped parsley.
