CHICKEN WITH CARAMELIZED ONION AND CARDAMOM RICE
A stunningly fragrant one-pot meal, this chicken and rice dish came to The Times from Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi's smash hit "Jerusalem: A Cookbook." Spiced with cinnamon, cardamom and whole cloves, its aromatic earthiness is balanced by plenty of herbs - dill, parsley and cilantro - for freshness and tang. And caramelized onions and dried barberries (or currants) contribute a gentle sweetness. This is dinner party food that is at once elegant and supremely comforting.

Steps:
- Put the sugar and scant 3 tablespoons water in a small saucepan and heat until the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat, add the barberries, and set aside to soak. If using currants, you do not need to soak them in this way.
- Meanwhile, heat half the olive oil in a large sauté pan for which you have a lid over medium heat. Add the onion, and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion has turned a deep golden brown. Transfer the onion to a small bowl and wipe the pan clean.
- Place the chicken in a large mixing bowl and season with 1½ teaspoons each salt and black pepper. Add the remaining olive oil, cardamom, cloves and cinnamon and use your hands to mix everything together well. Heat the frying pan again and place the chicken and spices in it. Sear chicken for 5 minutes on each side and remove from the pan (this is important as it part-cooks the chicken). The spices can stay in the pan, but don't worry if they stick to the chicken. Remove most of the remaining oil as well, leaving just a thin film at the bottom. Add the rice, caramelized onion, 1 teaspoon salt and plenty of black pepper. Drain the barberries and add them as well. Stir well and return the seared chicken to the pan, pushing it into the rice.
- Pour the boiling water over the rice and chicken, cover the pan, and cook over very low heat for 30 minutes. Take the pan off the heat, remove the lid, quickly place a clean tea towel over the pan, and seal again with the lid. Leave the dish undisturbed for another 10 minutes. Finally, add the herbs and use a fork to stir them in and fluff up the rice. Taste and add more salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot or warm with yogurt mixture if you like.

CHICKEN JERUSALEM II
Chicken breasts with mushrooms and artichokes in a white wine cream sauce. This is my personal favorite. Serve with saffron rice, a green veggie of your choice, and the rest of the wine, of course! Enjoy!

JERUSALEM GRILL
This recipe for griddled chicken thighs with chicken livers and hearts comes from Mike Solomonov and Steven Cook, the Philadelphia restaurateurs whose cookbook, "Israeli Soul," is an invaluable guide to making Israel's most beloved street foods and restaurant dishes at home. But you don't need to make it with the livers and hearts. "I like a little funk in there," Solomonov told me, "but I get it if you don't like that, if it freaks you out." So omit the offal if you want. "The dish is as much about the spicing, anyway," Solomonov said. Serve the meat mounded onto a drift of hummus, as you might spoon a thick ragù on top of polenta, or alone beside a salad. Solomonov likes it as a sandwich. "Eat mixed grill in a pita," he said. "Eat it with some onion and tehina and a pickle, and it's so satisfying. It's a taste of Jerusalem at the end of the night."

Steps:
- Make caramelized onions: Swirl 2 tablespoons oil into a medium skillet set over medium heat. When it shimmers, add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until the onions begin to soften and turn translucent, about 7 minutes, then lower the heat, and continue to cook, stirring every few minutes, until the onions are deeply caramelized. This could take up to 45 minutes. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the turmeric, cumin, fenugreek, baharat, cinnamon and the 2 teaspoons salt. Add the chicken pieces - including the hearts and livers, if you're using them - and toss with the spices.
- Heat a large skillet over high, and swirl into it the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. When it shimmers, add the spiced chicken mixture, and spread it out in an even layer. Let the meat sear, undisturbed, for about 2 minutes, then lower the heat to medium-high, and cook, stirring once or twice, until chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add a squeeze of lemon juice.
- Remove the chicken mixture from the heat, and stir in the caramelized onions. Serve with rice and Israeli salad or, better yet, with pita bread, sliced pickles and plenty of hummus.

Tips:
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven: This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the chicken from burning.
- Brown the chicken well: This will give the chicken a nice caramelized flavor and help to keep it moist.
- Use a flavorful cooking liquid: Chicken broth, white wine, or even water can be used, but adding some herbs, spices, or vegetables will really enhance the flavor of the dish.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: If you're cooking a lot of chicken, cook it in batches so that the pieces don't steam instead of browning.
- Simmer the chicken until it's cooked through: This will take about 15-20 minutes per pound of chicken.
- Serve the chicken immediately: Chicken Jerusalem is best served hot, so don't let it sit around for too long before serving.

Chicken Jerusalem is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. With its simple ingredients and flavorful cooking liquid, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy chicken recipe, give Chicken Jerusalem a try!
