Chicken Ab-Ghust

Chicken Stew "Chicken Ab-Ghust"

Going to make a simple chicken stew, with yellow split peas,potatoes,tomatoes. It is really delicouse and feeds up to four.

Just a quick note about yellow split peas for the receipe. I always use the iranian ones as I find they cook but dont turn to mush.You can get them from Persian food shops.

You will need

Chicken cut into segments
Onion and if you like a glove of garlic
Yellow split peas cup full
Potatoes new are best
Tomatoes 3-4 or use all tomatoe puree
Tumeric-dried chilli-salt & lots of black pepper.

Place the chicken -onions - tumeric-salt-pepper in a pot and bring to the boil, reduce and simmer for 45 minutes.

While your simmering the chicken boil your split peas for one minute then drain.Put the yellow split peas into the pot and cook for a further 15 minutes.Then add your tomatoes (plus a teaspon of tomatoe puree)potatoes and cook until the potatoes are cook.

The way we eat it. Tip all the juice into a large bowl and the rest onto a dish. The juice is eaten as a starter,to the juice you add torn up flat bread Lavash allrecipes.co.uk/recipe/1774/lavash.aspx‎.put this into the juice and eat with raw onion or pickles. Then eat the rest.
