The story behind

There’s a kind of magic in North African cooking that relies on patience. I remember making this for the first time and being worried about the cinnamon—but trust me, it’s what makes the house smell like a dream. This isn't just a meal; it's a slow experience. It's ideal for a cozy dinner when you want to impress someone without being stuck in front of the stove the whole time. Try it with a side of warm pita bread and a glass of chilled white wine or ginger ale.

Instructions

  1. 1
    Start by browning the chicken in a heavy pot until the skin gets a nice color.
  2. 2
    Take the chicken out and sauté the onions in the same fat until they are translucent and sweet.
  3. 3
    Put the chicken back in, adding the turmeric, cinnamon, and the raisins.
  4. 4
    Pour the stock in, cover it up tightly, and let it simmer on low heat for about 60 minutes.
  5. 5
    Plating is key: put the rice down first, then the chicken, and crown it with those sweet onions.
