Foodie Friday and our 1st
Mystery Ingredient Club Event~
Click here to learn more.I apologize that I am a little late to the party, due to scarywildfires in our area ~ they have interruptedeveryday routines, to say the least.
Michael very generously sent each of the participants3 ingredients to use in any recipe we chose. We couldpick one, two or three of the ingredients.(Thank you so much for your generosity Michael!)
I decided to use all three mystery ingredients, but in separate recipes ~ soI will be posting the other two in the next few days.
I chose the Preserved Lemons to use in myfirst dish:

I had been wanting to try this recipe from Tyler Florence (which hasreceived great reviews) for quite some time, so this was my chance.

It is a dish inspired by flavors from the middle East, andit didn't disappoint.
Note: You do not need a tagine to make this dish. I didn't make it inthe tagine, I simply transferred it for serving at the table.
One of us (not me!) is not really fond of traditional brinedgreen olives ~ so I used these instead:
I found them in the refrigerated case at Costco,I've also bought them from the olive bar at the grocery store. As thelabel says, they are very mild, with a pleasing buttery texture.

The recipe doesn't require that you bundle the chickenwith twine, but I like to do it sometimes for aneater presentation.

The chicken is absolutely melt-in-your-mouthtender, and very flavorful.

To serve with it, I also made Tyler Florence's recipefor Apricot and Orange CousCous. click and scroll downHis calls for scallions, insteadI snipped some chives from the garden.
We loved it! I served toasted Marcona almondson the side as a garnish.

I loved this combination of ingredients (I didn't picturethe onion, cumin, cloves, saffron, or red pepper here.) I added generousslices of fresh ginger, which I removed before serving.

Would I, should I prepare it again?
Those of us at the table responded with an overwhelming ~
YES!

You can usually tell how much I like a particular dish bythe number of images of it that I share.
(It's a dead give-away with this one!) :o)

Check in tomorrow for my next entry forthe Mystery Ingredient Club, using mystery ingredient #2.It's another winner.
