Israeli Spice Chicken image

A good friend of mine went to Israel and brought me back a delicious rub for meats. This is my attempt at replicating it. It works on anything and everything! Make extra and store in a cool, dry place for up to six months.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 26

1 1/2 tablespoons (1 1/2 palmfuls) sweet paprika
1 1/2 tablespoons (1 1/2 palmfuls) ground cumin
1 teaspoon (1/3 palmful) dried oregano
1 teaspoon (1/3 palmful) ground coriander
1/2 to 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (medium to hot in spice level)
1 1/2 teaspoons (1/2 palmful), coarse kosher salt
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (split, 8 pieces) 1 1/2 to 2 pounds
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Warm pita or flat bread, for passing
Serving suggestions: Serve with tomato relish and zucchini (recipes follow). Piling the relish and the chicken in a warm pita is a fun way to combine the flavors and textures of the 2 recipes.
3 tablespoons (a couple of glugs) extra-virgin olive oil
1 ripe lemon, juiced
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Kosher salt
4 small, tender zucchini, about 1 1/2 pounds (look in organic section of produce counter)
3 tablespoons (3 turns around the pan) extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup (half a bundle) chopped fresh mint
1/2 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves (a couple of handfuls)
Kosher salt and pepper
3 vine ripe or small round red tomatoes
2 orange or yellow tomatoes
1 small sweet onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup (2 handfuls) flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped

Steps:

  • Israeli Spice Rub:
  • For the spice rub combine the paprika, cumin, oregano, coriander, crushed red pepper flakes, and kosher salt in a bowl. Place in a sealable jar, keep in a cool dry place for up to 6 months.
  • Place chicken in a shallow dish. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil to barely coat the meat. Rub chicken liberally with 4 tablespoons of the spice blend. Let stand 10 minutes.
  • Grill chicken 6 or 7 minutes on each side or until juices run clear.
  • Seed and chop the tomatoes and combine with onion and parsley in a shallow bowl. Combine oil, lemon juice, and spices in a small plastic container with a lid. Shake dressing to combine and pour over salad. Season salad with kosher salt and toss to combine well. Let stand 10 minutes and serve.

Categories     main-dish

Time 4h

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 23

2 whole garlic bulbs
Grated zest and juice of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon cumin seed, toasted and ground
Pinch of crushed red pepper
Kosher salt
Extra virgin olive oil
1 4-pound chicken, cut into 8 to 10 pieces
Kosher salt
2 cups Israeli couscous
Extra virgin olive oil
1 onion, sliced
4 celery ribs, sliced thinly on a severe bias
Pinch of crushed red pepper
1/2 cup tomato paste
1 cup dry white wine
1 large pinch of saffron
2 medium zucchini, green part only (discard the starchy, seedy center), cut into 1/2-inch dice
1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted
1 thyme bundle
1 bay leaf
1 1/2 to 2 cups chicken stock
4 scallions, white and green parts, sliced very thinly on the bias
1 bunch of fresh cilantro, leaves and stems finely chopped, plus a few whole leaves for garnish

Steps:

  • For the chicken: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Place the garlic bulbs in the oven and roast until soft, about 30 minutes. Remove and let cool. When the bulbs are cool enough to handle, slice off the tops and squeeze the cloves into the bowl of a food processor.
  • Add the lemon zest and juice, cumin, and crushed red pepper to the garlic. Season the mixture with salt and puree until smooth. While the machine is running, drizzle in 1/4 cup olive oil. Taste and reseason if needed.
  • Place the chicken in a large dish or on a baking sheet and massage the garlic mixture onto the skin of each piece-really lube it up! Let the chicken sit at room temp for up to 2 hours or, if longer than 2 hours, in the fridge. HINT, HINT: This can be done WAY ahead of time!
  • For the couscous:
  • Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil-taste the water to make sure it is salty like the ocean! Add the couscous and cook until it's two-thirds of the way done, 5 to 6 minutes. Strain and reserve.
  • Coat a large saute pan with olive oil, toss in the onion and celery, and bring to medium-high heat. Season with salt and crushed red pepper and cook until soft, 7 to 8 minutes.
  • Stir in the tomato paste, white wine, and saffron and cook for 3 to 4 more minutes.
  • Toss in the zucchini, reserved couscous, pine nuts, thyme bundle, and bay leaf and stir to combine. Add 1 1/2 cups chicken stock and stir. The couscous should be a little soupy. If it isn't, add the remaining 1/2 cup chicken stock. Taste and reseason if needed. Remove and discard the bay leaf and the thyme bundle. Transfer the mixture to a large baking dish-one big enough to hold the chicken as well-and reserve.
  • To assemble:
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Coat a large saute pan with olive oil and bring it to medium-high heat. Working in batches, brown the chicken on all sides. Be patient, this may take up to 6 to 8 minutes. BE SURE not to crowd the pan. If you do, the chicken will steam and get soggy rather than brown and crispy . . . not yummy.
  • Nestle the browned chicken skin side up in the prepared couscous. Cover with foil and place in the oven. Roast the chicken for 20 minutes, remove the foil, and roast for another 15 minutes.
  • When the chicken is cooked through, remove from the oven and top with the chopped scallions and cilantro to serve.
