| Ingredients: | 16 chicken parts -- legs, thighs, half breasts
1 doz hardboiled eggs 2.5 c water 1/2 c rice flour 1 c blanched almonds 1 Tbsp sugar 1/2 tsp salt pinch saffron ground cloves |
||
| Preparation: | Roast chicken parts at 425 deg F for 15-20 min, or till the skins are
golden brown. Remove egg yolks (discard whites), and chop coarsely, then put them in the serving dish. When the chicken is done, lay it on top of the egg yolks. Chop up the almonds in a blender/food processor until they're pretty small, but not yet powdery. Add 1 c of the water, and process again. Then add saffron, sugar, salt and flour and process, adding the remaining water gradually. Pour the mixture into a pot, bring to a low boil, stirring frequently. Don't let burn! Let sit for at least 10 min, for the saffron to come to full flavor -- it will continue to strengthen (up to a point). If need be, the sauce can be reheated. Just before serving, pour the sauce over the chicken, sprinkle clove over the top, and "serve it forth"! |
