Ingredients

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 onions, one roughly chopped, one sliced
4 ounces tomatoes
4 ounces ginger, roughly chopped
3 garlic cloves, peeled
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon coriander
1 tablespoon cinnamon

2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
4 ounces dried cherries
1 red onion, finely chopped

Steps:

Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat 2tbs of the oil in a flameproof dish then brown the chicken on all sides. Remove the chicken to a plate.
In a food processer or with a blender whizz the chopped onion, tomatoes, ginger and garlic into a rough paste. Fry the sliced onion in the remaining oil until softened then add the spices and fry for a further minute until fragrant. Add the paste and fry for another few minutes to soften.
