ROASTED CHICKEN WITH JERUSALEM ARTICHOKE AND LEMON
Steps:
- Put the Jerusalem artichokes in a medium saucepan, cover with plenty of water, and add half the lemon juice. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer for 10 to 20 minutes, until tender but not soft. Drain and leave to cool. Place the Jerusalem artichokes and all the remaining ingredients, excluding the remaining lemon juice and half of the tarragon, in a large mixing bowl and use your hands to mix everything together well. Cover and leave to marinate in the fridge overnight, or for at least 2 hours. Preheat the oven to 475°F / 240°C. Arrange the chicken pieces, skin side up, in the center of a roasting pan and spread the remaining ingredients around the chicken. Roast for 30 minutes. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and cook for a further 15 minutes. At this point, the chicken should be completely cooked. Remove from the oven and add the reserved tarragon and lemon juice. Stir well, taste, and add more salt if needed. Serve at once.
JERUSALEM GRILL
This recipe for griddled chicken thighs with chicken livers and hearts comes from Mike Solomonov and Steven Cook, the Philadelphia restaurateurs whose cookbook, "Israeli Soul," is an invaluable guide to making Israel's most beloved street foods and restaurant dishes at home. But you don't need to make it with the livers and hearts. "I like a little funk in there," Solomonov told me, "but I get it if you don't like that, if it freaks you out." So omit the offal if you want. "The dish is as much about the spicing, anyway," Solomonov said. Serve the meat mounded onto a drift of hummus, as you might spoon a thick ragù on top of polenta, or alone beside a salad. Solomonov likes it as a sandwich. "Eat mixed grill in a pita," he said. "Eat it with some onion and tehina and a pickle, and it's so satisfying. It's a taste of Jerusalem at the end of the night."

Steps:
- Make caramelized onions: Swirl 2 tablespoons oil into a medium skillet set over medium heat. When it shimmers, add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until the onions begin to soften and turn translucent, about 7 minutes, then lower the heat, and continue to cook, stirring every few minutes, until the onions are deeply caramelized. This could take up to 45 minutes. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the turmeric, cumin, fenugreek, baharat, cinnamon and the 2 teaspoons salt. Add the chicken pieces - including the hearts and livers, if you're using them - and toss with the spices.
- Heat a large skillet over high, and swirl into it the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. When it shimmers, add the spiced chicken mixture, and spread it out in an even layer. Let the meat sear, undisturbed, for about 2 minutes, then lower the heat to medium-high, and cook, stirring once or twice, until chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add a squeeze of lemon juice.
- Remove the chicken mixture from the heat, and stir in the caramelized onions. Serve with rice and Israeli salad or, better yet, with pita bread, sliced pickles and plenty of hummus.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Season chicken with salt and pepper, and rub with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Place chicken in a shallow roasting pan; set aside. Zest the lemon into long strips, and squeeze juice from lemon into a small bowl. Set aside juice.
- In a medium bowl, combine lemon zest, garlic, Jerusalem artichokes, shallots, and thyme. Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat, and arrange in pan around chicken. Roast until chicken is golden brown, about 40 minutes.
- Remove from oven. Add reserved lemon juice, wine, and olives; stir up any browned bits on the bottom of roasting pan with a wooden spoon. Return to oven, and continue cooking until liquid has thickened slightly, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from oven, and transfer to serving plates. Garnish with grated lemon zest.
Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: Use a whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces, or a combination of chicken thighs and breasts. Bone-in, skin-on chicken is best for this recipe.
- Make sure the chicken is dry: Before seasoning and cooking the chicken, pat it dry with paper towels. This will help the skin crisp up.
- Use a flavorful spice blend: The spice blend in this recipe is a combination of paprika, cumin, coriander, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Feel free to adjust the spices to your liking, or use a pre-made spice blend.
- Roast the chicken at a high temperature: Roasting the chicken at a high temperature (450°F) will help the skin crisp up and the meat cook through quickly.
- Baste the chicken with the pan juices: Every 20 minutes or so, baste the chicken with the pan juices. This will help keep the chicken moist and flavorful.
- Let the chicken rest before serving: Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken.
Conclusion:
Chicken Jerusalem is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of spices and the crispy skin make this chicken irresistible. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
