Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 55 minutes

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

5 cups chickpeas (tinned)
5 cups maftoul couscous
8 pieces chicken, of your choice (or a whole chicken portioned)
4 onions, sliced into semi circles
1 cup chopped tomato (fresh or tinned)
1 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon sumac
1/2 teaspoon ground fenugreek
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon coriander powder
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
salt and pepper
olive oil
2 pints water

Steps:

Fry the spices and onion in a little olive oil. Add the chicken and seal well.
Bring 1/2 liter of water to the boil. Place maftoul in large bowl and pour over enough to cover the maftoul. After 10 seconds, drain off water and mix in 1/2 tsp salt before placing maftoul in the steamer.
Pour tomatoes over chicken and add salt & pepper to taste. Cover with water (water should come about 2" over the ingredients). At this point you can add a chicken stock cube if you wish. Cover and cook for 45 mins on medium heat.
If you have a large couscousier or double steamer you can cook the sauce in the bottom and maftoul in the top which is preferable as the maftoul absorbs the flavours --.
Remove the chicken from the sauce and place on a baking sheet in the oven (180 degrees c) for 10 minutes to brown off and dry out.
Whilst chicken is in the oven, add the chickpeas to the sauce and cook gently for 10 minutes.
Check seasoning. Take 8 bowls, divide the maftoul between them. Pour over some sauce then top with the chicken pieces.

PALESTINIAN COUSCOUS MAFTOUL RECIPE | MIDDLE EASTERN ...

Look no further for the perfect flavourful dinner party centrepiece than this recipe for Palestinian couscous with spice-marinated chicken and tender vegetables.
From thehappyfoodie.co.uk
Cuisine Middle Eastern

Preheat the oven to 200°C fan. Place the chicken in a large bowl and add the olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt and a good grind of black pepper. Toss to coat, then transfer to an oven dish or tray lined with baking parchment, skin side up. Put the cumin, coriander, cinnamon, turmeric and fennel seeds into a small bowl and mix to combine. Sprinkle just a quarter of this over all the chicken, then roast for 45 minutes, or until nicely browned and cooked through.

While the chicken is in the oven, put the oil for the maftoul into a large pot (about 25 x 12cm), for which you have a lid, and place on a medium-high heat. Add the onions and 2½ teaspoons of salt and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring from time to time. Add the tomato purée and sugar and cook for another minute. Add the carrots and squash and cook for another 3 minutes, stirring a few times, then add the chickpeas, the remaining spice mix, the garlic and stock. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 15 minutes, covered, or until the vegetables are just cooked. Making sure you reserve the stock, strain the vegetables and keep them somewhere warm. Return the broth to the same pot – you should have about 600ml – then add the maftoul and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to low, then cover and cook on a low heat for 10 minutes, or until the maftoul is just cooked. Turn off the heat and set aside for 10 minutes, with the pot still covered. After 10 minutes, fluff up the maftoul with a fork and add the vegetables to the pot, along with the lemon juice and half the parsley.

To serve, spoon the maftoul into a large deep serving dish. Top with the chicken, sprinkle over the remaining parsley and serve.
