Shabbat Chicken

Wed, 21 May 2003 20:04:05 -0400

We were staying with friends during Passover and this was the main course at the seder. The smell was wonderful, the color beautiful, and the meat literally fell off the bone. It is called "Shabbat Chicken" because religious Jews do not cook on Shabbat/Sabbath and this is meant to be prepared right before the start of the Sabbath and then placed on a warming tray until the men arive home from the synagogue. You will want to serve this with couscous or rice to get all the wonderful juice. -- posted by Caryn Gale

My husband's family come from Iraq and when I was first married, my mother-in-law taught me how to make this delicious dish. It takes a long time to cook but it is not labour intensive - believe me the taste is worth the long wait for dinner! -- posted by Janette1

Iraqi Curried Chicken

I got this recipe from an Iraqi family after the Persian Gulf War when me and my family were camping in northern Michigan. They had left Iraq after the invasion of Kuwait, and I was lucky to be strolling thru the park when I smelt this meal cooking in their cabin. They warmly shared their meal and gave us the recipe. The slow-simmering smells wonderful and the flavor is fantastic. This is not a spicy curry as curries go, so even my kids will eat it. I suppose when our troops start coming home, they just might inundate us with the flavors and recipes they've experienced over there and will want to have them again, just like our ancestors have after coming home from successfully liberating the oppressed countries of the past century. Hope you try this and think of our troops. -- posted by steve in FL

Kuwaiti Curried Chicken (Quwarmah Ala Dajaj)

A definite 5 stars. This is very good. I sometimes add okra (bamia). It does not use curry powder and I actually never considered this a curry. I serve it with Recipe #304145 and a fresh salad for a great meal masha Allah. -- posted by UmmBinat
