About this recipe

Poultry with almonds and mild spices is a dish that evokes for me childhood memories, Christmases spent with family around a generous table. My grandmother, of Algerian origin, often prepared this dish, slightly adapted to European tastes, and its fragrance perfumed the whole house. It is a recipe that I have carefully preserved and that I revisit with pleasure, sometimes adding my own touch. The chicken, the main ingredient, provides the protein base and a tender texture. It is important to choose a good quality chicken, preferably free-range, for a more pronounced taste. The ground almonds, for their part, contribute to the creaminess of the sauce and bring a slightly bitter note that balances the sweetness of the spices. The onions and carrots, cut into small pieces, add texture and flavor to the sauce. The powdered sugar, used sparingly, enhances the flavors and slightly caramelizes the sauce. Cinnamon, an essential spice, brings a comforting warmth and an enchanting fragrance. Poultry stock cube intensifies the taste of the sauce, while lemon brings a touch of acidity that balances everything. The rice, cooked with saffron, offers a soft and fragrant base that perfectly accompanies the poultry. For preparation with the Thermomix®, it is important to respect the rice cooking times in order to obtain a perfect texture. Do not hesitate to taste the rice during cooking and adjust the time if necessary. For the sauce, you can use whole chicken cut into pieces or boneless chicken thighs. Cooking in a sauté pan allows you to brown the chicken and develop the flavors of the sauce. If you don't have a sauté pan, you can use a Dutch oven. For a vegetarian or vegan version, you can replace the chicken with pieces of firm tofu or seitan. You can also add extra vegetables, such as zucchini or peppers. To vary the flavors, you can use other spices, such as ginger, turmeric or cumin. This dish is ideally eaten hot, accompanied by a fresh and crunchy green salad. You can also serve it with grilled vegetables or mashed potatoes. For a festive touch, you can sprinkle the dish with a few grilled flaked almonds. Poultry with almonds and mild spices can be prepared in advance and reheated. It also keeps very well in the refrigerator for several days. You can even freeze it for later use. It is a perfect dish for family meals or dinners with friends.
