MOROCCAN LEMON CHICKEN W/SUMMER SQUASH & GR. OLIVES (SBD P1)
From most recent book. Haven't tried. While the ingredient list for this recipe may seem long, it largely features common pantry spices. When combined, these spices make up a version of ras-al-hanut, an intriguing blend that is widely used on Moroccan style meats and fished. If you prefer, look for prepared ras al-hanut or another Moroccan blend in the spice section of your supermarket. Mixed with a little extra virgin olive oil, these spices make a wet rub that blackens while cooking, giving the chicken a nice, exotic taste.
