Time 1h15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 cups water
1 ½ cups dry brown lentils, rinsed and drained
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ large yellow onion, diced
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 ¾ cups low-sodium chicken broth, divided
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
3 medium plum tomatoes, diced
5 links pre-cooked chicken sausage, cut into 1-inch cubes

Steps:

  • Bring water to a boil in a medium pot. Add lentils to the boiling water, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and let cook until soft, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Puree the lentils into a thick paste using a food processor or blender.
  • Heat olive oil in large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir, 1 to 2 minutes. Add 1/4 cup chicken broth and continue to cook until the onion starts to soften, 1 to 2 minutes more.

  • Add remaining broth. Gradually stir lentil puree, a little at a time, until it is all mixed in. The mixture should be thick and creamy. Stir in chicken sausage.

Tips for Making Saudi Chicken Kofta and Lentil Stew:

  • For the most flavorful kofta, use a combination of ground chicken thigh and breast meat.
  • Be sure to finely chop the onion and garlic so that they blend seamlessly into the kofta mixture.
  • If you don't have a meat grinder, you can pulse the chicken, onion, and garlic in a food processor until finely chopped.
  • To make sure the kofta is cooked through, fry it in hot oil until golden brown on all sides.
  • For a thicker stew, add more lentils or reduce the amount of water.
  • Serve the stew with warm pita bread, rice, or your favorite grain.
