WWDH - Chicken Dukkalah with Couscous and Tahini Yogurt

-
I am really enjoying the Donna Hay recipes that I have made so far.  This week we made this chicken that was covered with Dukkalah.  I had no idea what that was, but after much googling, I decided to make my own rather than go looking for it in the grocery.  It was toasted seeds and nuts and a few spices.  Was not hard to make and it was quite tasty even on its own.  I overcooked my chicken a bit though so it was kind of dry.  I forgot to photograph the tahini yogurt that was supposed to be served with this.  The couscous was also easy to make and it was more flavorful than I had expected.

If you want to see what the other members of the group did with their chickens, check it out here:

If you want the recipe, you will need to email me.  I do not think this one can be found online.

This was a good recipe...we enjoyed it as well. Fun to discover a new spice blend, and although I made a quarter of a batch, I will have some left to try out several more dishes...going to keep it on the counter in a little jar so I remember to do that! I did do the whole "remove the backbone" thing with the chicken, but this would work just fine with chicken pieces...or pork, or beef, or fish...a nice blend of nuts and seeds. Loved the couscous with it as well, yours looks good...sometimes I forget to check on the chicken as well and it gets away from me...it happens. :-)

Sometimes, it is much easier to make our own spice blends. Searching the stores is a wasted time taker.

I do want to try this on fish.

I have already used my homemade dukkah in several ways. It makes good salad dressing. I also made chicken pieces, but I imagine a whole chicken would be less likely to dry out, thanks to the skin.

Oh, now I feel better! I overcooked my chicken too. The temp was high, and it just needed a few more minutes...but not as many as I gave it. Tasty nonetheless! Yours looks marvelous!

Glad you enjoyed this. I was a fan, and the tahini yoghurt and dukkah made it for me.

It was exciting to make a new spice mix. And we can use for other dishes at that. Good looking chicken.

Ina Garten's Deviled Eggs!

-

This is appetizers week in our Ina Garten Fridays group!!  I chose her deviled eggs because we love deviled eggs and I never deviate from my old family recipe so I thought I would branch out and try something different.  I'm so glad I did!  I love these and I am sure my DH will love them tonight for dinner also. With just these ingredients, you can impress your guests or yourself, with some delicious deviled eggs. Ina's recipe says to hardboil six eggs.  (I only did five because that was all I had and mine turned out a little fluffier than they probably should have, but delicious just the same).  If you don't know how to boil eggs, please take a minute to learn.  If your eggs turn out green, you have overcooked them.  To make perfect boiled eggs every time, I put my eggs in cold water and put them on the stove, bring to a boil.  As soon as they begin boiling, I take them off the stove and cover and let them sit for 15 minutes.  At this point, they are perfe

TWD - Crunchy Toffee Bars

Every time I bake with toffee chips, I think of Heath Ledger. You get it, right, Heath Toffee / Heath Ledger. I know I'm weird. But in honor of the Oscars this week, I thought a photo of Heath was appropriate. He was a great actor with a brilliant future ahead of him. Sad. Of course, my real photo choice of the week was going to be my personal favorite Hugh Jackman. Since he was the host of the Oscars, I think it only fitting that we post a photo of him, as well, right? After all, he IS the sexiest man alive. I knew he could act, and look pretty, but dang - he can sing and dance too! Okay girls - get your minds out of the gutter and back to the matter at hand. Truly, get serious! We are here to talk about crunchy toffee bars. Let me just say that I am glad I made these earlier in the weekend because I ended up having to spend some time with a nice young doctor at the ER due to a severe asthma attack! It's heck not being able to breathe folks. It has now turned into acute bronc

Lenox Almond Biscotti

This week Gretchen of Canela & Comino chose Lenox Almond Biscotti for our recipe challenge. Oh Gretchen, thank you thank you, thank you! Biscotti has always been one of my favorite foods (especially around the holidays). Who knew someone of so little culinary experience could actually bake biscotti in their own kitchen? And the greatest thing of all was this was actually one of the easiest things I have baked AND I had all the ingredients I needed right in that pantry of mine. Or so I thought . . . My new shiny red KA mixer was gently purring like a kitten as it mixed my wonderful dough when I discovered - oops, completely out of almond flavoring. Since I was baking in old clothes and no makeup, hair tied back in a ponytail reminiscent of those kindergarten years, there was no way I was headed to the store for almond extract. Not to panic, though, I decided to just use vanilla and hope for the best. I did sprinkle some cinnamon on half of them right before putting into the oven to
