Instructions:
-
Take the fine bulgur in a deep bowl, add enough hot water to cover it and close the lid.
-
Get a crock pot. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper, fry them lightly in 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil and remove from the pot. Finely chop the onion and garlic and sauté them in the same pan until they turn pink.
-
Once the onions and garlic are translucent, add the saffron (or powdered turmeric), ginger, cumin, and seasonings. Add the honey and cinnamon stick and put the chicken pieces in the pot and turn them together a few turns.
-
Peel the zucchini and cut it into small cubes and add it to the pot. If you are going to add dried fruits such as plums and apricots, you can add them at this stage.
-
Add the boiled chickpeas to the mixture in the pot, add enough hot water to cover them by 2-3 inches and cook until the vegetables are soft.
-
Spread the soaked swollen bulgur on the bottom of the serving plate and place the casserole on the bulgur. Place the chicken meats and drizzle the remaining sauce in the pot. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and pitted green olives and serve hot or warm. Enjoy your meal!
