This is my first post for MenuMania, we’re huge fans of MenuMania here at Syrup magazine so it’s with great pleasure that I share with you a winter favourite!

Ingredients
- 1.5kg of chicken pieces
- 2 onions sliced
- 3 garlic cloves crushed
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp ginger
- 1 cup pitted prunes
- 1 cup olives (black or green)
- 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
- 1 1/2 cups chicken stock
- fresh coriander
- Seasoning
Method
In a lidded pan brown your chicken pieces in a little olive oil. Add all your remaining ingredients.
Bring to the boil then turn down and simmer for 1 1/2 hours, turning the chicken a couple of times.
Serve scattered with fresh coriander and salt & pepper. This can also be cooked in the oven in a casserol or tagine at 180 degrees celsius. Accompany with couscous.


This looks divine. What are the ideal chicken pieces to use for this? And will it be just as tasty if I do it with the skin off?
