Another Hameen, or slow-cooked chicken and rice dish for the Sabbath, this
is a contemporary recipe. It can be prepared at any time as long as it is
baked slowly and thoroughly. There are great advantages in today's busy
world in having a one-dish meal that can be prepared and put in the oven 5
hours before dinner time.
1. Heat the oil in a pan large enough to hold all the ingredients. Add the
onion and stir-fry over low heat until golden, about 3 minutes. Add the
chicken and brown lightly on all sides for 5 minutes.
2. Add the tomato and fry for 2 minutes. Place the rice all around the
chicken, and add the chick-peas, salt, pepper, paprika and water. Cover the
pan tightly, bring to a boil, and simmer on top of the stove for 5 minutes.
Then bake in a 200-degree F. oven for 5 hours ..... the longer, the better.
The chicken will become quite tender, the rice will be cooked but still
moist.
Serve warm.
