8 chicken thighs bone-in, skin-on

3 cloves garlic (chopped)

1 ½ tsp smoked paprika

1 ½ tsp ground tumeric

1 tsp whole cumin seeds

¼ cup extra virgin olive oil

2 medium onions (chopped)

2 cups chicken stock

1 large lemon (thinly sliced)

½ cup green olives (pitted)

1 pinch saffron strands

1 handful fresh coriander (chopped)

1 pinch salt and black pepper

Blend the garlic, paprika, turmeric, cumin seeds, some salt and half the olive oil in a food processor into a smooth paste.

Massage the paste into the chicken pieces and leave them to marinate for 4 hours

Heat the remaining olive oil in a large pan and add the onions and chicken thighs to cook on each side until golden-brown.

Then, add the stock (and enough water to reach halfway up the chicken if needed), the lemon slices, olives and saffron and bring it to a simmer.

Leave it to simmmer uncovered for 30 minutes, then stir through the coriander, season with salt and pepper, and serve.
