Instructions for Mkalli (Chicken with Pickled Lemons And Olives)

Sephardic Holiday Cooking - Gilda Angel 1. In large saucepan, combine water, olive oil, onions, garlic, ginger, cumin, saffron and parsley. Bring to boil. Lower heat and add chicken. Cover and simmer about 45 minutes. 2. Meanwhile, soak olives in cold water to remove excess salt. Drain, halve and pit olives. Rinse pickled lemon and carefully cut away pulp. Cut rind into julienne strips. 3. Add olives and lemon rind to chicken. Continue to cook, uncovered, until chicken is very tender, almost falling off bones. Remove chicken with slotted spoon and place in serving dish. Boil sauce till slightly reduced. Pour over chicken and serve immediately. Notes: 1. We dont pit the olives, but rather warn our guests to watch for pits. 2. Recipe supposedly serves 8?we find it hard to stop eating and think 6 is a more realistic number. 3. We serve with couscous.
