Stuffed Braised Chicken
(Lema Ma'amara)
What You Need:
  • 1 chicken
  • 3 tablespoons cuscus
  • 4 tablespoons caster sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons sultanas
  • 1½ tablespoons parsley, finely chopped
  • 3 pinches salt
  • 3 pinches of powdered saffron
  • ¾ pint olive oil

  • How To Cook:
    1. Clean the chicken.

    2. For the stuffing, put the cuscus over the heat in a dry dish, keeping it moving until very dry, then mix with the sugar, cinnamon, sultanas, 1 tablespoon parsley, a pinch of salt, a pinch of saffron and almost ¼ pint olive oil.

    3. Stuff the chicken with this, taking care that the neck and breast are filled, and then sew up.

    4. Put the chicken in a saucepan with the neck and liver, add ½ pint olive oil and a little more than ½ pint water and bring to the boil.

    5. Cook the chicken for 1¼ hours or until nearly tender, then add the remaining parsley.

    6. Baste the chicken with a mixture of the remaining saffron, salt and 3 tablespoons water, cover and continue to cook until the bird is tender.

    To Serve: 2 - 4
