Source: A Book of Middle Eastern Food by Claudia Roden
This excellent Middle Eastern dish is a particularly Moroccan specialty.
1 large roasting chicken (about 4 pounds)
2 1/2 tablespoons oil
2 onions, sliced
Salt and black pepper
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon paprika
1 onion, finely chopped
1/2 pound green or black olives
Juice of 1/2 lemon, or more
Wash the chicken and wipe it with a damp cloth.
Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Add about 3/4 cup water very gradually, stirring vigorously. Add onion slices, sprinkle with salt, pepper, ginger, and paprika, and lay the chicken on top. Cook over low heat, covered, for 1 hour, turning the chicken frequently. Add a little more salt if necessary, and the finely chopped onion, and cook for 1/2 hour longer.
Pit the olives. Put them in a pan, cover with cold water, bring to the boil, and leave for 1 minute. Drain off the water and repeat the process. This will remove excess salt. Add the olives to the pan and cook with the chicken for a few minutes only.
Just before serving, squeeze a little lemon juice over the dish. Sometimes a few pickled lemon slices are added just before serving. Serve with plain boiled rice or couscous.
Serves 6.
