Steps

  • Blend all harissa ingredients in a food processor to a smooth paste and store in the fridge.
  • Slash chicken thighs and marinate with three tablespoons of harissa in the fridge for two hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  • Brown the chicken in batches in a hot, oiled flameproof casserole for 4 minutes and set aside.
  • Cook the sliced onions in the same pan for 4 minutes until just softened.
  • Stir in two tablespoons of harissa and the potatoes, followed by the tinned tomatoes and stock.
  • Bring the liquid to a boil and return the chicken to the pan.
  • Bake in the oven for 45 to 55 minutes until the chicken is tender and the sauce reduces.
  • Stir in the lemon juice and parsley, then season with salt and pepper.
  • Whisk garlic, vinegar, honey, lemon juice, and oil in a bowl to create the salad dressing.
  • Combine the remaining salad ingredients in a separate bowl and toss with the dressing.
  • Serve the hot chicken stew with the herb salad on the side.
