Cook Time: 1 hr 0 min
Level: Intermediate
Yield: 4 to 6 servings

Ingredients

2 tablespoons cumin seed
2 tablespoons whole coriander
2 cinnamon sticks
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup olive oil
1 lemon, juiced
1 whole free-range chicken (3 pounds), split (see directions below or have butcher split chicken for you)
Extra-virgin olive oil
Mint Yogurt Dressing. recipe follows
Apricot Couscous, recipe follows

Directions

Toast cumin, coriander and cinnamon in a medium saucepan over low heat until fragrant. In a clean spice grinder or coffee grinder, blend spices until fine. Add the toasted spices to a bowl with paprika and cayenne. Season with kosher salt. Stir in the olive oil and lemon juice.

Prepare chicken by splitting it down the back and removing the backbone, breast bone and rib cage. Lay the chicken out flat and rub the blended spices all over. Marinate for up to 4 hours or overnight.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Heat a large cast iron skillet (or other heavy oven-proof pan) over medium-high heat. When hot, add a 2 count of extra-virgin olive oil and place the chicken skin side down in the pan. Cover it with a second cast iron pan (you could also use a more traditional foil-wrapped brick) immediately so the skin doesn't have time to contract. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 10 to 15 minutes until chicken is golden brown and has a nice crust. Finish cooking in the oven for a further 20 to 25 minutes. Internal temperature between the leg and thigh should register 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, when cooked through. Serve with Mint Yogurt Dressing and Apricot Couscous.

Mint Yogurt Dressing:

1 1/2 cups plain yogurt
1/2 bunch chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1/2 bunch fresh mint leaves
2 green onions, green parts only
2 tablespoons honey
1 lemon, juiced
Extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper

While chicken is cooking, combine yogurt, cilantro, mint, green onions, honey, lemon juice, extra-virgin olive oil, and salt and pepper, to taste, in a blender. Blend until mixture is fully combined and has a smooth consistency.

Apricot Couscous:

Extra-virgin olive oil
1 small red onion, small dice
1/4 cup dried apricots, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup whole almonds toasted, coarsely chopped
1 cup couscous
1 1/2 cups chicken stock, warm
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
2 scallions green parts only
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, roughly chopped
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped plus leaves for garnish
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

In a medium saucepan add a 2 count of extra-virgin olive oil. Add the red onion, apricots and almonds and saute gently over low heat until translucent and slightly fragrant. Add the couscous then dump in the warm chicken broth. Stir with a fork to combine, add lemon zest and cover. Let sit for 10 minutes, then uncover and add the scallions, mint, and cilantro. Fluff again with a fork. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Toss gently to combine.

Serve family-style on a large platter and garnish with fresh cilantro.

Yield: 4 to 6 servings

Moroccan Rib Roast Recipe - How to make Moroccan Rib Roast

The Arabic Food Recipes kitchen (The Home of Delicious Arabic Food Recipes) invites you to try Moroccan Rib Roast Recipe.  Enjoy the Moroccan Cuisine and learn how to make Moroccan Rib Roast. 

This tender, juicy, low-calorie rib roast is infused with the flavors of North Africa. Coriander, lemon, and cumin pack plenty of zesty Moroccan-flavored punch, while grilled vegetables provide a tasty natural side. To make the dish even more authentic, try using a leg of lamb instead of beef.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons coriander seeds, crushed
2 tablespoons finely shredded lemon peel
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon whole cumin seeds, crushed
1/2 to 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1 4- to 5-pound beef rib roast
8 cloves garlic, peeled and cut into slivers
Assorted peeled and cut-up vegetables, such as carrots, turnips, and sweet peppers

Directions

1. In a small bowl stir together coriander seeds, lemon peel, olive oil, cumin, red pepper, and salt. Rub surface of meat thoroughly with coriander mixture.

2. Cut 1/2-inch-wide slits randomly into top and sides of meat. Insert garlic slivers deep into slits. If desired, cover and chill meat for up to 24 hours.

3. Prepare grill for indirect grilling. Test for medium heat above the drip pan. Place meat on the lightly oiled grill rack over the drip pan.

4. Cover and grill for 1-1/2 to 2 hours or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meat registers 155 degree F for medium doneness. Add assorted cut-up vegetables to grill during the last 45 minutes of grilling, removing and setting them aside as they become tender. Carve meat and serve with the grilled vegetables. Makes 8 to 10 servings.

5. Test Kitchen Tip: You may prepare this recipe using leg of lamb instead of a beef rib roast as part of a more authentic Moroccan feast. For a 3- to 4-pound leg of lamb, grill for 2 to 3 hours or until a meat thermometer registers 155 degree F for medium doneness.

Middle Eastern Lamb Stew

The Arabic Food Recipes kitchen (The Home of Delicious Arabic Food Recipes) invites you to try Middle Eastern Lamb Stew Recipe. Enjoy the Middle Eastern Cuisine and learn how to make tasty Middle Eastern Lamb Stew.


This brothy stew is boldly flavored with a blend of characteristic Middle Eastern spices and finished with fresh spinach and fiber-rich chickpeas. Economical lamb shoulder tenderizes beautifully when leisurely cooked in a slow cooker. If you can�t find boneless shoulder stew meat, do not substitute more-expensive lamb leg�it tends to dry out during slow cooking. Instead, purchase lamb shoulder chops and debone them. Serve over bulgur and accompany with a salad.

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds boneless lamb stew meat (shoulder cut) or 2 1/2 pounds lamb shoulder chops, deboned, trimmed and cut into 1-inch chunks
1 tablespoon olive oil or canola oil
4 teaspoons ground cumin
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1 large or 2 medium onions, chopped
1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes
3/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 15- or 19-ounce can chickpeas, rinsed
6 ounces baby spinach

Directions

1. Place lamb in a 4-quart or larger slow cooker. Mix oil, cumin, coriander, cayenne, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Coat the lamb with the spice paste and toss to coat well. Top
with onion.

2. Bring tomatoes, broth and garlic to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Pour over the lamb and onion. Cover and cook until the lamb is very tender, 3 to 3 1/2 hours on high or 5 1/2 to 6 hours on low.

3. Skim or blot any visible fat from the surface of the stew. Mash 1/2 cup chickpeas with a fork in a small bowl. Stir the mashed and whole chickpeas into the stew, along with spinach. Cover and cook on high until the spinach is wilted, about 5 minutes.

Moroccan Filo Chicken Pie recipe. A unique chicken pie, from North Africa, combines both a sweet and savoury filling, encased in a mouth-watering, buttery filo pastry. Enjoy our Moroccan Filo Chicken Pie recipe.

Serves: 4
Preparation Time: 30 minutes
Cooking Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
Oven Temperature: 390� f - 200� c

Step 1:You will need�.

2 chicken breasts , cubed, or whole chicken pieces, or thigh
1 onion , chopped
4 cloves of garlic
1 Tbsp ginger , peeled and chopped
1 tsp turmeric
few threads of saffron
1 stick of cinnamon
2 1/8 pt chicken stock or water
4 eggs , whisked
2 Tbsp chopped coriander
8 � oz finely chopped almonds
4 Tbsp sugar
2 tsp ground cinnamon
3 � oz butter , melted
4 sheets filo
salt and pepper
to garnish:
powdered sugar
ground cinnamon
2 saucepans
2 bowls
1 ladle
1 wooden spoon
1 pastry cutter
1 cutting board
1 knife
1 spoon
1 brush
tongs
1 tray
1 baking tray

Step 2: Cook the chicken
Begin by spooning the chicken pieces, thigh or whole pieces of chicken into a large saucepan.

Then add the onion, garlic, ginger, turmeric, saffron and the cinnamon stick. Pour over the stock to cover all the chicken and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 40 minutes, until the chicken is tender and has fully absorbed all flavour from the herbs and spices.

Step 3: Allow to cool
Once cooked, carefully remove the chicken out of the pan, with your tongs and transfer it onto tray, to cool down, reserving the stock in the pan for later.

Step 4: Chop the chicken
Now that your chicken has completely cooled, roughly chop it, then continue to mince it quite finely and place it into a bowl.

Step 5: Scramble the eggs
Start by adding 2 tablespoons of the melted butter into a second saucepan. Add the eggs, then a ladle of the spicy cooking liquid. Lightly scramble with your wooden spoon, over a medium heat. Remove them whilst they are still soft and nicely moist and add into the bowl of minced chicken.

Step 6: Season the mix
Next, season the bowl of egg and chicken mix with the chopped coriander and salt and pepper and combine well.

Step 7: Mix the nuts
In another bowl, mix the chopped almonds, cinnamon and the sugar together.

Step 8: Preheat the oven
Set the oven to a moderate 200�C (400�F/ or gas mark 6) in preparation for baking the pie.

Step 9: Brush the filo pastry
Carefully place one sheet of this delicate pastry onto a clean work surface. Brush it evenly, with some melted butter. Take a second sheet, laying it over the first and also brush it over with butter. Then stand your pastry cutter in the baking tray. Very carefully flip over both sheets. Then with extreme care, tuck the pastry, butter side down, deep into the pastry cutter, making a pastry parcel.

Step 10: Fill the filo parcel
Now fill the bottom of the pastry parcel with some of the nut mixture. Add a layer of the chicken mix. Add another layer of nuts. Then add the chicken. Flatten it down with your spoon. Take the sides of your pastry and fold inwards to close your pastry parcel. Trim off any excess pastry as you go. Give it a final pat down and it's ready to bake.

Step 11: Bake
Place the tray into the centre of the preheated oven, to bake, for approximately 20 minutes, until the filo is golden brown. Then with the help of a tea towel, take it out of the oven and carefully remove the pastry cutter.

Step 12: Serve
Before serving, flip your pie over, to its smoother side and decorate with a dusting of sugar and cinnamon powder. It is now ready to serve hot, as an appetizer, promising a unique mingling of exotic sensations!
