Ingredients
Instructions
-
Heat olive oil over medium heat in large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven. Add onions and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until translucent. Add butternut squash and garlic and cook for one more minute, until garlic is fragrant.
-
Add tomatoes, chicken stock, cinnamon, paprika, cumin, allspice, harissa, brown sugar and 2 tsp. salt and bring to boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 35 to 40 minutes, until squash is tender and broth has thickened considerably.
-
Using a potato masher, bottom of a whisk or a wooden spoon, lightly mash about half of butternut squash. (Don’t worry about being exact here—the idea is just to thicken the broth while still leaving some whole chunks of squash.)
-
Add chicken and chickpeas and simmer for 10 more minutes. Taste and add another 1/2 tsp. of harissa if desired.
-
To serve: In small bowl, combine 1 cup yogurt with 1/4 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper. Ladle chili into bowls and top with a spoonful of yogurt and a sprinkle of parsley. Serve hot.
