LEMON-PAPRIKA CHICKEN WITH CHICKPEAS AND COUSCOUS
This recipe is inspired by the flavors of the Lebanese dish "Shish Tawook" which is a classic marinated grilled chicken kebab recipe. This version uses fewer ingredients but is still loaded with flavor, with the marinade also acting as a delicious sauce tossed with couscous and chickpeas.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375˚ F. Whisk the lemon juice, tomato paste, 2 tablespoons olive oil, the paprika, thyme, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a small bowl. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper. Rub the chicken with 3 tablespoons of the lemon-paprika mixture to evenly coat.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on one side, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, remove 3 tablespoons liquid from the can of chickpeas and transfer to a medium bowl. Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Add to the bowl with the chickpea liquid and add the remaining lemon-paprika mixture and the bell pepper; toss. Flip the chicken and scatter the chickpea mixture around the chicken, scraping any liquid into the pan. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast until the chicken is cooked through, 8 to 12 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook the couscous as the label directs. Fluff the couscous with a fork.
- Remove the chicken to a plate. Add the couscous to the chickpea mixture and stir together to absorb the pan sauce; season with salt and pepper. Slice the chicken and divide among plates along with the couscous-chickpea mixture. Top with the parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, combine the couscous with the water and lemon juice. Let stand 1 hour.
- To the couscous add the olive oil, parsley, mint, preserved lemon rind, pine nuts, salt and pepper. Mound the couscous in the center of a serving platter. Top with diced tomato. Surround the base with endive leaves. Serve at room temperature.
- Scrub the lemons under running water and pat dry. Cut a thin slice from each end of a lemon. Set on end and make a vertical cut 3/4 of the way through the fruit, leaving the 2 halves attached. Turn the lemon upside down, rotate 90 degrees, and make a second vertical cut, again 3/4 of the way through the fruit. Fill each cut with as much salt as it will hold. Place the lemon in a sterilized, 1-quart size, wide-mouth canning jar. Proceed in this manner for the remaining lemons, pressing as many into the jar as possible. Seal and set aside at room temperature. Add additional lemons over the next few days as the rinds of the first lemons begin to soften. By this time, the juices should have risen to cover the lemons. If not, add 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice mixed with 1 teaspoon of salt. This will prevent the top lemons from darkening. Store at room temperature until the rinds become tender, and the pulp acquires the consistency of jam, 3 to 4 weeks. Refrigerate. Use within 6 months.

COUSCOUS & ROASTED SPICED CHICKPEAS & PINE NUTS
This is a great flavourful vegetarian dish or serve along side meat or seafood. You can use regular couscous but the large grain Israeli couscous is the best I think. If you use the Israeli couscous increase the water to 3 cups and cook till done, drain if necessary, I slightly saute the spinach for mine.
