Moroccan Chicken and Garbanzos Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Soak 1/2 cup golden raisins in tepid water 15 minutes, drain
  • Brown 1/2 cup blanched almond in 1 T butter until light brown; set aside on a paper towel
  • Thinly slice 4 onions
  • Saute over medium heat in 1/4 cup olive oil + 2 t salt - 15 minutes
  • add:
  • 4 - 4 1/2 t Ras al-hamut spice mix
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • cook 30 more minutes over medium - low heat
  • Add 1 can drained garbanzo beans (I use 2 cans) and drained raisins
  • you may want to add: 1/4 t black pepper and salt
  • Cook 45 more minutes, stirring occasionally
  • 4 - 5 lb chicken in 8 pc. in 5 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • pinch of saffron
  • 3 t salt
  • 1 1/4 t black pepper
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • Bring to a boil, reduce to simmer, cook 1 hour
  • After the hour is up, extract 3 cups of the broth, bring to a boil in a 2 quart pan.
  • Add pre-cooked plain couscous, turn off heat, let sit for 5 minutes.
  • Fluff couscous as you lay it out in a deep platter
  • Put chicken on top cover with onions/garbanzos
  • Scatter almonds on top
  • pour the remaining broth into onion pan, scrape and pour 1/2 - 1 cup over all
  • This is a great recipe! I started the chicken first, then the vegs, and put the chicken in the oven to stay warm
  • at 175. This lets me get the couscous done just before we eat.
