Chicken with Almonds and Honey

Pollo al Andalus

 

From Delicioso!, modified

Ingredients

3 pounds chicken pieces
salt
pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon minced cilantro
1 tablespoon minced parsley
1/4 teaspoon powdered ginger
tumeric, to taste
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup white wine
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped blanched almonds
1 tablespoon honey

Directions

Sprinkle chicken pieces on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a shallow casserole and lightly brown the chicken on all sides. Add the onion and cook until it has wilted. Sprinkle in the cilantro, parsley, ginger, turmeric, cumin, and nutmeg. Stir in the chicken broth and wine, cover, and simmer 40 minutes.
In a very small skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon oil [you might need a little more] and lightly brown the almonds over a medium flame. Add the honey and 2 tablespoons water and cook away most of the liquid. Spoon over the chicken, cover, and cook 5 minutes more.
