Chicken With Apricots, Lemon and Saffron image

Here is a spice-perfumed braised chicken dish that is greater than the sum of its parts, with complex flavor that belies the ease of preparation. As a bonus, you can prepare it up to 2 days in advance, since it reheats beautifully.

Categories     dinner, lunch, poultry, main course

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

6 large bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (About 2 pounds total), fat trimmed
Salt and pepper
1/8 teaspoon crumbled saffron threads
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 large onion, diced (about 1 1/2 cups)
1/2 cup tomato purée
Pinch of cayenne
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 teaspoon green cardamom pods
1 cup white wine
6 ounces dried apricots, about 1 cup
2 small lemons, thinly sliced (do not peel)
Cilantro leaves, for garnish
Mint leaves, for garnish
2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Season chicken generously on both sides with salt and pepper. (If time permits, do this an hour before cooking or up to 24 hours in advance. Keep refrigerated, but remove from refrigerator 1 hour before cooking.)
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, place chicken pieces skin-side down in one layer. Let chicken cook slowly to brown well on one side, about 15 to 20 minutes. When skin is crisp and lifts easily from the pan, it is ready. Flip and cook 2 minutes more.
  • Meanwhile, make saffron water: In a small cup, combine saffron with lemon juice and 1/4 cup water. Set aside to steep.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Transfer chicken, skin-side up, to a baking dish. Pour off some fat from the skillet, reserving about 2 tablespoons. Add onions, salt lightly and cook, stirring, until softened and beginning to brown, about 10 minutes.
  • Add saffron water and threads, tomato purée, cayenne, coriander, fennel, cardamom and wine to onions and bring to a simmer.
  • Pour onion mixture over chicken. Tuck apricots and lemon slices among the chicken pieces. Cover tightly and bake for 1 hour. Remove cover and bake until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. (Recipe can be prepared to this point up to 2 days ahead. When ready to serve, reheat in a 350-degree oven, in a covered pot, 30 to 45 minutes.)
  • To serve, garnish with cilantro and mint leaves. Sprinkle with pine nuts and serve hot.

2 ounces dried apricots (about 1/3 cup)
2 ounces prunes (about 1/3 cup), pitted
1 cup coarse bulgur (#3)

APRICOT-SAFFRON BULGUR



Apricot-Saffron Bulgur image

A nice side dish that goes great with grilled chicken (for example) or lamb (or beef, or anything I guess). Try it one day when you're tired of white rice!

Provided by Svenska Kocken

Categories     Grains

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup bulgur (dry)
1/2 cup dried apricot, diced
1/2 cup onion, diced
3 ounces sliced almonds (I use half of a 6 oz package, that's why it is not measured in "cups")
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 g saffron (usually 1 small package is this size)

Steps:

  • Prepare bulgur according to directions on package (usually boil 2x as much water as you will make bulgur, take off heat, add bulgur, stir, let sit 5 mins).
  • Stir saffron into bulgur (you can do this at any time, you can add saffron into the water as it boils -- I usually do -- or you can add it after the bulgur is made -- which I did when I forgot it!).
  • While bulgur is cooking, sauté onions in butter over med-high heat, as soon as onions begin to get soft (2 mins) add apricots. Lower heat to med-low and sauté for an additional 10 minutes.
  • Add sliced almonds to the apricot/onion mix.
  • When bulgur is ready, add apricot/onion/almond mix; fluff and serve!
