Cooking Instructions
- 1
In the bottom part of the couscous pan (or in a large saucepan), place the chicken, oil and onions and mix well. Then add in the turmeric, allspices, salt and pepper. Cover with water and place on medium heat.
- 2
Put the maftoul in the top part of the couscous pan and put it over the bottom part(or put maftoul in the colander, put a cloth under the colander and place it over the saucepan used for chicken).
- 3
Cover the pan with its lid (or the colander with an aluminum foil) so that the maftoul is cooked by absorbing the steam rising from the chicken broth. It is important that steam can only escape from the top of the pan this is why we use a cloth between the colander and the saucepan.
- 4
Stir the maftoul occasionally. When the chicken is close to be done, add to it the chickpeas and leave to boil.
- 5
Remove the chicken from the broth and set aside. Strain the chicken broth, reserve the onions on a plate and keep the chicken broth for later use.
- 6
Finally, place the maftoul in a serving dish and pour over it ½ cup of chicken broth. Spread over it the onions and arrange the chicken pieces on top. Pour the remaining chicken broth in a deep serving bowl.
- 7
When serving: pour more chicken broth over each plate.

This is my hubby's favourite chopped salad, quite basic, but full of flavour. It is an economical recipe, since it uses up day old pitta breads beautifully...transforming them into chewy texture in the salad and absorbing the dressing and salad juices.

Japanese-Style Taramasalata Japanese-Style Taramasalata
An easy potato salad that our tarako-loving family enjoys. I make in a few minutes using the microwave. Eat it just as-is, turn it into croquettes or gratin, use it as a dip or whatever strikes your fancy!By adding milk, the flavor becomes mild and the texture becomes creamy, so add it in. It's good with mentaiko (spicy cod or pollack roe) too. In order to make sure the potatoes cook evenly, mix well once during cooking. For 2 to 3 servings. Recipe by Toiroiro
