February 23rd 2011

I actually forgot to take a picture... but I did cook Riz 3a Djej
The picture is from a website that has many good Lebanese and other Arabic recipes.



My recipe though is:

Cut 2 onions into 6 parts start by frying them a bit in a pan add chicken (4 big legs)
Add cinnamon powder preferably or powder and stick. Add up to 2-3 spoons. Add salt.
When the chicken starts to get red, add water until all the chicken is covered with water.
Let it boil and reduce the heat.

Soak 1.5 cups of water.
When the chicken is almost done, remove some of the chicken broth and use it to cook the rice.

You can add some pine and almonds. Fry them with a bit of oil. Make sure you keep on mixing them because they will get burnt really quickly. When they start turning yellow, put the fire off. Move the nuts on a napkin to soak out the oil.

Decorate the rice with the chicken then the nuts

Enjoy!
