Number Of Ingredients 28

1 1/2 cups plain whole-milk yogurt or labneh
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons chopped fresh curly parsley
Pinch of cayenne pepper
Kosher salt
6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, plus 6 chicken drumsticks
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, smashed and chopped
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
1/2 cup grated carrot (about 1 medium carrot)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
2 tomatoes, chopped
2 tablespoons tomato paste
3 strips orange zest, plus juice of 1 orange
3 cups homemade or store-bought low-sodium chicken stock
5 cardamom pods, crushed
4 whole cloves
2 cinnamon sticks
2 bay leaves
1 1/2 cups basmati rice, washed until water is clear then soaked in water to cover for 45 minutes
2 cups safflower oil
1/2 cup whole blanched almonds
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup curly parsley sprigs, for garnish

Steps:

  • Make the lemon yogurt sauce: In a medium bowl, stir to combine yogurt, lemon zest and juice, parsley, and cayenne. Season with salt; set aside.
  • Make the chicken: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large high-sided saute pan or Dutch oven over medium-high. Working in batches, cook chicken, turning, until golden and crisp on all sides, about 2 minutes per side. Remove from pan and set aside.
  • Reduce heat to medium and stir in onion, garlic, ginger, carrot, cumin, coriander, and turmeric. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables begin to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, tomato paste, orange zest and juice, stock, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, and bay leaves and bring to a simmer.
  • Place browned chicken, skin-side up, in simmering liquid and transfer to oven for 25 minutes.
  • Remove chicken from cooking liquid and place on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Reserve pan with cooking liquid. Reduce oven temperature to 275 degrees and transfer chicken to oven until cooked through, 18 to 20 minutes.
  • To prepare the rice, heat pan with reserved cooking liquid over medium and bring to a simmer. Stir in rice, cover, and cook at a low simmer until rice is tender, 18 to 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and fluff with a fork to combine.
  • Heat safflower oil in a small heavy-bottomed pot until a deep-fry thermometer reads 325 degrees. Add almonds and cook until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove to paper towel-lined plate to drain. Add raisins to pot and cook until puffed, about 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, remove to paper-towel lined plate to drain.
  • To serve, spoon rice onto a serving platter and top with chicken. Sprinkle with fried almonds and raisins, garnish with parsley, and serve with lemon yogurt sauce.

AL KABSA - TRADITIONAL SAUDI RICE AND CHICKEN



Al Kabsa - Traditional Saudi Rice and Chicken image

This was the first Arabic dish I ever made and it turned out extremely delicious, a new favorite! Serve Al Kabsa with a fresh mixed cucumber, carrot, lettuce, and tomato salad -- preferably with a little lime vinaigrette. Some fresh pita bread on the side would be nice also. Saudis like their Kabsa with a hot sauce called 'Shattah'. Enjoy!
