Instructions

  1. Cut the chicken thighs up and season them with salt and pepper.

  3. In the same casserole, fry the sliced onions for 8 minutes, then add the garlic, cumin and coriander.
  4. Stir in the grated tomatoes and let them reduce for 5 minutes.
  5. Return the chicken, cover with water and simmer for 30 minutes.
  6. Drain and rinse the beans, then add them to the casserole.
