Ingredients
Chicken Marinade
2.5 lb Chicken Breast, boneless, skinless, cut into 1 inch cubes you can use chicken thighs as well
1 tsp Cumin
Yellow Rice
1 tsp Salt
2 Bay Leaves
3.5 cups Vegetable Stock
Other
Tomatoes, diced
Lettuce, chopped/shredded
Pitas, quartered
Instructions
First, marinate the chicken in the above ingredients and let it marinate for 4 hours or even overnight
covered in the fridge.
Next, prepare the white sauce since this can also be made earlier in the day. Just stir together all the
ingredients in that category but the water. Add a few drops of water at the end until the thickness
reaches a consistency that is pourable or to your liking. Cover the sauce and keep it refrigerated.
Thirty minutes before dinner, work on the rice as it only takes 20 min to make. Add ghee to the pot
then the rice to lightly toast for 2-3 minutes then the seasonings/bay leaf. Add the broth and bring
this to a boil then a simmer covered for about 20 minutes. Rice should be cooked through, fluffed,
and remove bay leaves before enjoying.
While the rice cooks, cook the chicken as well. In a nonstick skillet, add the chicken to cook for about
8-10 minutes on high heat. You may need to do this in two intervals depending on the size of the
pan. The chicken should be cooked through with no pink in the center yet juicy and fully white.
To assemble, add a layer of rice to a platter then top it off with the chicken pieces, lettuce, tomatoes,
and drizzle with white sauce and sriracha for heat. Add in a piece of pita and enjoy!
HALAL ROAST LEG OF LAMB
Ingredients
marinate the lamb overnight in the fridge or at least 4-6 hours for the best results.
Take the lamb out 1 hour before planning to roast it. Preheat the oven .
To stuff, place the grape leave on a clean flat working surface with the shiny side facing down and the
rigid up. You will add the rice stuffing to the rigid side. Add about 2 tsp depending on size of grape
leave across of the leaf above the stem.
Fold the bottom of the leaf up over the stuffing, and then fold over the sides of the leaf onto the
stuffing.
Roll up the leaves making sure that the sides are tucked in as you go. Roll somewhat tightly; you
don't want the rice falling out when the grape leaves cook. You also do not want it too tight so the
rice can expand well.Line the bottom of a big pot with extra grape leaves or torn ones, slices of
tomato and/or slices of potato. Bring to boil over high heat, then cover the pot and let it simmer on
low to medium heat for 2 1/2 hours till grape leaves are tender.
Once slightly cooled, flip over the pot onto a large serving plate.
Serve with plain yogurt for dipping and wedges of lemon. You can also make a refreshing arabic salad
alongside this.
roasted eggplant
dip (vegetarian and vegan)
First, start by scoring your eggplant with a sharp knife on all sides.
Then, place the eggplant on top of an open flame. I do so on my gas stovetop. You can also achieve
this using a grill or even the broil method for your oven.
Allow the eggplant to cool for a few minutes before peeling off its skin which should come off easily.
Take the flesh of the eggplant and add it to a bowl to mash with a fork.
Then, add the rest of your ingredients, such as tahini paste, freshly crushed garlic, fresh lemon juice,
a dash of cumin, and salt, to the dip before mixing it all.
Lamb tagine(GLUTEN FREE)
Ingredients
2 lbs Boneless American Lamb Shoulder, cut into small to medium cubes
1 Cinnamon Stick1 tbsp All Spice1 tbsp Coriander1/2 tbsp Ground Ginger
1 1/4 cup Pitted dried prunes2 Large potatoes, peeled, and cut into 2 inch cubesAdd the marinated
lamb to a pot over high heat and sear the meat for 5 minutes on each side until it has a brown crust.
To achieve this the pot must be hot. Cover with a lid for 10 after browning is achieved. This will allow
juices to form.
Add the red onion to the mix and cover for about 20 minutes. At this point, more juices will be
forming. Then add enough stock to cover halfway up to the meat and let that simmer for another 20
minutes.
Then add the dried prunes and let that simmer for 10 minutes.
Add the potatoes and carrots along with more stock. The liquid doesn’t have to cover the potatoes
and meat fully but at last 3/4 of the way. Let this simmer on medium heat for at least 2 hours.
Check back on it then and see if the meat is tender. If not, cook for another 30 minutes until it is.
