DAJAJ BIL COUSCOUS
A delicious Syrian dish, be sure not to use Moroccan-style couscous, use the Lebanese or Israeli variety (which is larger). Serve with mishmishiyah (I will post the recipe soon).

Steps:
- In a large pan (large enough to hold the chicken), fry the onion and garlic in the olive oil until onion becomes soft and translucent.
- Put in the chicken and pour 4-1/2 cups of water (it won't be sufficient to cover). Add spices.
- Cover and simmer for 1 - 1-1/2 hours so chicken is so tender it's falling off the bone, turning once halfway through.
- Take out the chicken and remove skin and bones. Cut into small pieces.
- Bring the sauce to a boil and add lemon juice.
- Throw in the couscous. Cook for approximately 8 minutes (until tender). (you can add 1 cup of boiling water if necessary during this time)
- Stir in the butter and place the chicken pieces back in the pan.
- Heat through before serving.
