Djaj bel Loz
- 2 large onions, chopped
- 4 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 2 3 1/24-pound chickens, cut into quarters
- Salt and pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon powdered saffron
- Juice of 1/21 lemon
- 1 1/2 cups blanched almonds, coarsely ground
- 1 tablespoon rose water
- 45 tablespoons honey
- In a large pan, cook the onions in the oil over low heat with the lid on until they soften, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the ginger and cinnamon and put in the chicken.
- Cover with water, add salt and pepper, saffron, and lemon juice, and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes.
- Taste and adjust the seasonings (the sauce should be quite salty), and move the pieces so that the top ones go to the bottom.
- Lift the chicken pieces out and arrange them in a large, shallow baking dish.
- Remove the skin if you like, and pour the sauce over.
- Mix the ground almonds with the rose water and honey.
- Spread this paste over the chicken pieces and bake in a 350F oven for about 3045 minutes.
- The flavor, with the melting honey, is divine.
- Serve hot.
