Description
This recipe has been making repeat appearances recently for family and small group of quarateamed friends. It feels like a warm hug (much needed in times like these!)
Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp olive Oil
- 3 red onions thinly sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 3 tbsp rose harissa (NOTE we use only 1/2 tbsp as it tends to become too spicy for our family)
- 2 tsp sweet smoked paprika
- 850 g chicken thighs, skinless and boneless
- 200 ml passata
- 5 large tomatoes, quartered
- 200 g jarred roasted red peppers, drained and cut into 2cm thick rounds
- 15 g dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids) (We love chocolate so I am always adding more)
- 20 g coriander, roughly chopped
- for taste salt and black pepper
Sweetcorn Batter
- 70 g unsalted butter, melted
- 500 g corn kernels, fresh or frozen and defrosted (shaved corn kernels from 4 large corn cobs, if starting from fresh)
- 3 tbsp whole milk
- 3 eggs, yolks and whites separated
Notes
- Note from Georgeanna Parks.
- My only suggestions are the following – #1 – It’s spicy…
- I don’t use rose harissa because I don’t have it.
- The TJ’s harissa is spicy, so halving the recipe to 1 1/2 tablespoons is really enough for my family’s taste buds #2 – Add a little more chocolate than it calls for (it gets warm and thick and spicy almost like a red mole).
- This you add towards the end so you can adjust as desired #3 – Make sure you cook the corn souffle through long enough so that it stays put when scooped. #4 – Greek yogurt is great for cutting the spice in this if you make it too spicy during the first go ?

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I adjust the spiciness of the dish?
The recipe suggests using only 1/2 tablespoon of rose harissa instead of the full amount to reduce spiciness. Additionally, Greek yogurt can be served alongside to help cut the spice.
Why is dark chocolate included in the recipe?
The dark chocolate adds depth and richness to the dish, creating a flavor profile similar to a red mole. You can add more chocolate towards the end to adjust the taste as desired.
What is important to know about cooking the corn souffle?
Ensure that the corn souffle is cooked long enough so that it holds its shape when scooped. This is crucial for the texture of the dish.
