Preheat oven to 375 degrees
Have your butcher cut up a whole chicken for you. Break off 1/2 cup of the Achiote paste and mix with the lemon juice
in a large bowl until thick enough to marinate the chicken. Marinate in refrigerator for 1 hour or overnight.
If grilling the chicken, heat grill to medium-low. Wipe grill with an oiled towel so the chicken won’t stick. Lay chicken
skin side down on grill for 10 minutes. Check and rotate chicken for 10 more minutes. Flip chicken every 10 to 15
minutes, check for doneness by piercing with a knife until juices run clear. If roasting, preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Place marinated chicken on a baking rack and season with salt and pepper. Bake chicken for 45 minutes or until juices
run clear.
Israeli couscous is a versatile pasta that adapts to any flavor you hit it with. In a heavy bottom sauce pot, bring 2 1/2 cups
of chicken stock to a boil then add 2 cups couscous. Simmer on medium low for 8 minutes with the lid on. Check for
doneness and fluff with a fork. Let sit for 10 minutes.
The cauliflower is simple and fun to cook. Set up a baking sheet with a baking rack on top. Trim off the stem and green
outer leaves of cauliflower, leaving it whole. Rub the softened stick of butter all over the cauliflower, in a thick coating.
Place the cauliflower on the baking rack and sprinkle evenly with 1 Tablespoon of kosher salt and 2 Tablespoons of curry
powder. Place in a 375 degree oven for 10 minutes, then baste the cauliflower with the buttery curry drippings. Repeat
this every 6 to 7 minutes until tender. Let cool and cut into bite size pieces. Add to couscous along with chopped chives,
oregano and sautéed corn or mushrooms if you added them. Finish with red wine vinegar, hazelnut oil, and salt and
pepper to taste.
