  • Middle Eastern meat dishes are wonderfully varied, and this unusual one brings a festive mood to the table the moment it appears. Arabic-style stuffed chicken is all it takes to give your family a celebration on any day. This recipe has been on my holiday menu for years, and I recommend it. Start with the filling: chop the onion and fry it in part of the fat. Once the onion is soft, add the ground meat (whichever kind you prefer) and cook. After a few minutes, when the meat is crumbly, add the rinsed rice. Simmer, stirring, so the rice doesn't stick to the pan. After 5 minutes, add pine nuts toasted in a dry skillet — leave them whole or chop them with a knife. Season it all with the spices: saffron, cardamom, ground pepper, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well and pour in the broth. Simmer for about 15 minutes, until the rice has absorbed all the liquid. Pat the cleaned, rinsed chicken dry with a paper towel and fill it with the stuffing. Sew the opening shut so the filling stays in, tie the legs to hold the shape, then season with salt and pepper and brush all over with the remaining fat (melted). Roast the stuffed chicken in a preheated oven at 350–400°F (180–200°C) for 2 hours, basting it now and then with the pan juices. Remove the threads from the finished bird, carve it into serving pieces, and serve hot with the stuffing. In the Middle East, by the way, this is one of the festive dishes marking the end of the Ramadan fast.
