Step-by-step preparation:

STEP 1

Prepare the Sauce Base

In a pot, heat a drizzle of oil or butter. Add thinly sliced onion and sauté until soft. Add the rinsed and sliced olives and sauté with the onion. Add crushed garlic and stir. Season with black pepper, chicken spices, turmeric, coriander, ginger, and salt. Add hot water to cover the ingredients and let the mixture come to a boil.

STEP 2

Shape the Chicken Fingers

Mix the ground chicken breast with parsley, one crushed garlic clove, black pepper, chicken spices, and salt. Add a small amount of margarine and knead the mixture well until the flavors are absorbed. Shape the mixture into small fingers.

STEP 3

Cook the Chicken and Potatoes

Add the chicken fingers to the boiling sauce and cook until done. In a separate pan, fry potato slices into rounds until golden. Add the fried potatoes to the sauce and let them simmer on low heat.

STEP 4

Final Touch and Serving

Whisk the eggs with lemon juice and chopped parsley. Pour the egg mixture over the dish in the pot on very low heat. As an optional addition, sprinkle some Rape cheese on top and let it melt. Serve the dish hot with the chicken fingers on top and the potatoes at the bottom.
