This recipe didn't work for me at all. As I assembled the ingredients, my instinct was to throw in some crushed tomatoes, but I thought I'd give the recipe a shot as written. I should have listened to my intuition. As I feared, it was far too dry—maybe it should call for sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil? My jicama slices came out crunchy. They would have been better cut into matchsticks instead of slices. The chipotles really should be chopped or pureed; cooked whole, they look too much like the sun-dried tomatoes, and it is startling and unpleasant to mistake one for the other! I also didn't feel like the cashews added much to this dish. I might use this as an inspiration for a spicy chicken stew, but if I make it again it will be heavily modified!
