Ingredients
4 chicken legs, thighs and drumsticks separated
1 large peach, cut into wedges
2-3 plums, cut into wedges
1 onion, peeled and sliced
3 garlic cloves, peeled
1/2 bottle red wine
Salt
Directions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
Place the onion in the bottom of a roasting pan or baking dish. Add the chicken legs, peach, plums, and garlic and drizzle some of the silan on top. Season with salt, sheba spice, urfa chili and drizzle some olive oil over. Mix everything and once well coated arrange the pieces of chicken skin side up and place the fruit pieces in between.
Add the red wine to the pan, then place in the oven and cook for about 20 minutes. Baste the chicken legs with the cooking liquid and cook for 15 minutes more. Baste again and cook for another 10 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked and has a nice brown color.
Remove from the oven and serve.
Variations & Ideas
• Use white wine and add some diced tomatoes.
• Replace the onion with sliced fennel or leeks.
A thick, hearty broth for the autumnal, cooler days, that has become one of Israel’s most popular soups and heralded a national dish. Made from a plethora of orange-coloured vegetables including the seasonal pumpkin or squash, it is flavoured with fragrant herbs and warming spices to give a ray of sunshine in every mouthful.
My recipe for orange soup is delicious on its own, but even better with a swirl of cream, some sautéed chestnuts or toasted pumpkin seeds sprinkled on top, and always with a hunk of warm bread. This soup freezes well, but will keep fresh in the refrigerator for 5 days, if it lasts that long…
Known as the Italian macaron, the Ricciarelli is chewy on the inside and crisp on the outside, with a hint of rose water or almond essence for added flavour… this is the perfect Pesach biscuit, that can be served alongside the ubiquitous cinnamon ball with a cup of tea.
Chag Pesach Sameach!
A reimagining of hamantaschen, the hamantart is easy to make and has some fun twists, but still has the traditional poppyseed filling. A fun treat for Purim that is easy to make!
