I could call this a one bowl wonder...almost. But it does use a searing hot grill pan...if you wanted to. It is do-able without, but I did like the little grill marks. Somehow grill marks lend an air of authenticity to a dish that would otherwise look, well, frumpy. Serve with steamed rice, crusty bread and heaps and heaps of freshly chopped parsley. (OH, and go and buy the real deal paprika, you won’t regret it, and you won’t go back to Master Foods paprika, ever, ever, ever again.) Enjoy.

Need

50 Grams Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) plus more as needed BUY
3 brown onion halved
4-5 cloves garlic
600-700 Grams tomatoes, halved
400 Grams eggplant, roughly chopped
1 Teaspoon pink salt flakes BUY
2 Tablespoons Chicken Stock Powder Recipe
4-6 chicken thighs, cut into large pieces
2-3 Tablespoons smoked paprika
Handfuls fresh Italian parsley, roughly chopped

Do

1: Place EVOO, onions and garlic into Thermomix bowl and chop 4 sec/speed 4. Scrape down sides of bowl and saute 5 min/120℃/speed 2.
2: Add tomaoes, eggplant, salt and chicken stock powder and cook 10 min/100℃/speed 2.
3: Meanwhile, heat a grill pan to very hot and drizzle with a little EVOO. Sear the chicken thigh pieces and cook until you have a few grill marks on them. Turn off the heat and cover and allow the chicken to rest a little.
4: Add a generous amount of the smoked paprika to the Thermomix bowl and blend the sauce 1 min/speed 8.
5: Add chicken pieces to the sauce and cook 15 min/Varoma/Reverse/speed 1. The chicken will be cooked way before this, but you need all the sauce ingredients to meld and get into the chicken. You can stop the cooking at 5 minutes if you are in a hurry!
6: Serve over steamed rice with lots of additional paprika sprinkled over and chopped fresh Italian parsley by the handful!
7: I like this when baked in the oven following step 4. Pour the sauce over the seared chicken and place into a 180°C oven for up to an hour, but fully covered. Then finish off as directed above.
