Chicken and Green Beans

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.
6 Preheat the oven to 400 F.
7 After 1 hour, remove the lid and drizzle the date syrup over everything. Finish cooking uncovered in the oven for another 40-45 minutes.
