The weather was lovely in Mitlaa' area where we were camping last week me and my friends and fortunately I had the chance to be away from the crowded streets of Salmya and Kuwait City. There we made sure to give ourselves a break from restaurants and fast food and we decided to cook our own food. Dealing with breakfast was easy, we had a combination of cheeses, olives, fruit jam, honey, bread and best of all is an omelet dish that I made by myself.
It was nearly 2pm and the guys were hungry and we were discussing what we shall eat for lunch. We searched the web for some recipes and the majority voted for a "chicken machboos". There was the recipe that we will follow, it was simple and straight forward. Unfortunately, not all ingredients were available with us and so one of us was sent to bring the stuff from a nearby grocery shop. After having all ingredients now, we started the process of cooking the machboos. By 3:45pm the machboos was ready to eat. It tasted good and everyone was pleased, it was finger-licking delicious!
I thought it would be nice to share with you the recipe to experience the good taste yourself. Here you go:
Ingredients:
1 - wash the chicken well and then put it in a pot and add water to soak.
2 - add the cinnamon stick and cardamom, cloves and black pepper kernels and cook until the water boils over moderate heat for 40 minutes.
3 - remove the chicken and keep aside.
4 - cook the rice in the chicken broth.
5 - pour some flour on the chicken then cook in a skillet over medium heat.
6 - to prepare the tomato sauce add water, tomatoes and garlic tomato sauce in a pot and cook until tomato is cooked.
7 - when the rice is cooked put in a dish with the chicken.
8 - Place the tomato sauce in a separate bowl.
9 - You can add some roasted nuts and onions on the rice to give a better look.
Note: This recipe was taken from rjeem.com, but unfortunately it was in Arabic and I had to translate it to English in order to share it with you.
