CHICKEN KOFTAS WITH LIME COUSCOUS
This splendid yet easy meal pairs koftas (gently spiced meatballs) and couscous with fresh accents from herbs, limes and crunchy pine nuts. Using a food processor to blitz all the kofta ingredients provides enough friction to help the meat proteins bind and form a much nicer and compact kofta. A similar technique is traditionally employed in India, where ground meat is chopped until it becomes a paste. While the sweet and tart taste of dried cherries are nice here, cranberries are an excellent substitute, bringing a similar spot of brightness to this dish.

Steps:
- Make the couscous: In a medium saucepan over high heat, bring the stock, lime juice, olive oil, red-pepper flakes and 1 teaspoon salt to a rolling boil. Remove from the heat and stir in the couscous. Cover with a lid and let sit for 10 minutes.
- As the couscous sits, prepare the koftas: Place the ground chicken, shallots, egg, parsley, serrano, garlic, ginger, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until the mixture resembles a coarse paste.
- Heat 2 to 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large (12-inch) cast-iron skillet or nonstick pan over medium-low. Grease your hands with a little oil and divide and shape the ground chicken mixture into 12 balls. Fry them in the hot oil, in batches if necessary, until golden brown on all sides and the internal temperature reads 165 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, about 8 to 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the koftas to a tray or plate lined with paper towels.
- Uncover the couscous, fluff the mixture with a fork and break up any lumps. Transfer the couscous to a large mixing bowl. Fold in the lime zest, parsley, cherries and pine nuts, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Fold in the koftas and serve immediately with the lime wedges.

- First, soak a very small piece of sandwich bread in water until super tender, then drain the water and squeeze the bread dry. Place the bread in a large mixing bowl. Add ground chicken, grated onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley and mint. Add Aleppo-style pepper, coriander, paprika, kosher salt and pepper. Add the egg, if using, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil to bring this mixture together.
- Take fistfuls of the chicken mixture and form into 8 oval patties that are about 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick (try to keep them all equal in size).Arrange the patties on a tray or a large plate (they should not be touching) and chill for 15 to 20 minutes while the grill is heating (longer if you have the time)
- Grease the grates of your gas grill (or an indoor griddle or skillet) with a bit of oil and preheat to medium-high. When ready, arrange the chicken kofta on the grill or griddle so that they are far enough apart (you'll want to have enough room to turn them over). Grill for 4 to 5 minutes on each side or until the chicken is fully cooked. (Use a grill-safe spatula to turn the chicken kofta over halfway through cooking).
- In my opinion these kofta patties are best hot off the grill. Add a little garnish of Aleppo-style pepper if you like and serve with your favorite Mediterranean sides.
