Ingredients

Poulet aux Dates (Chicken with Dates)

  • 6 pieces chicken

  • 2 tablespoons oil

  • 2 large onions, thinly sliced

  • 200 grams (7 ounces) pitted dates

  • 500 grams (17 and 1/2 ounces) potatoes, cut into wedges

  • 1 teaspoon Gefen Cinnamon

  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

  • 1 tablespoon Gefen Honey

  • juice of 1 lemon or about 3 tablespoons Tuscanini Lemon Juice

  • a big pinch of saffron, ground with a mortar and pestle

  • 1/2 cup hot water, plus additional to top up as needed

Directions

1.

In an oven-proof pan, fry onions in two tablespoons oil until starting to caramelise and soften.

2.

Add the dates and potato wedges to the pan. Season with salt and pepper and mix everything well.

3.

Lay the chicken pieces on top.

4.

In a bowl, combine the cinnamon, honey, lemon juice, nutmeg, saffron, and hot water to make the dressing. Mix well.

5.

Pour dressing all over the chicken and everything else.

6.

Bake at 185/190 degrees Celsius (365/374 degrees Fahrenheit), uncovered, for one hour. Serve immediately.

Notes:

Check regularly, and turn over the potatoes to ensure they soak up the lovely dressing. Add more liquid if you see it’s drying out.
