Total Time: 1 hour 50 minutes

Ingredients

  • 6-8 chicken drumsticks
  • 1-1.5 lbs fresh green beans, ends trimmed off and cut in half
  • 2 yellow onions sliced
  • 1/4 cup olive oil plus more to top
  • 1 cup canned tomato sauce
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 1/2 tbsp date syrup
  • 1 1/2 tbsp paprika
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp cumin

Directions

  1. Heat a braiser or oven-safe skillet on medium heat with 1/4 cup olive oil. I suggest a pan that's at least 3.5 qts. Saute the sliced onion for 7-8 minutes.
  2. Add the chicken drumsticks with a pinch of salt, and brown together for another 7-8 minutes.
  3. Add the spices- 1 1/2 tbsp paprika, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper and 1/2 tsp cumin- with another 2 tbsp of olive oil. Toss everything together to coat evenly.
  4. Add the green beans and pour in the tomato sauce with the cup of water. Stir together well. Cover the pan and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, reduce and simmer the pan for 1 hour.
  5. Preheat the oven to 400 F.
  6. After 1 hour, remove the lid and drizzle the date syrup over everything. Finish cooking uncovered in the oven for another 40-45 minutes.
