GRILLED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH NORTH AFRICAN SPICE PASTE
Though there are plenty of chiles in this paste, they don't overpower it. The aromatic bite of coriander, the earthiness of cumin and the licorice trace of caraway seeds create a pleasingly complex flavor. This paste is also delicious with pork. (So says Gourmet Magazine. ;)) Chicken rubbed with spice paste can marinate, covered and chilled, up to 4 hours before grilling. Spice paste keeps, covered and chilled, up to 1 week. See notes below for directions using a gas grill. SPECIAL EQUIPMENT: an electric coffee/spice grinder or mortar and pestle; a 17- by 12- by 3-inch aluminum roasting pan (if using charcoal).
