Time 4h10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
4 large onions, thinly sliced
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/8 teaspoon fresh habanero pepper, minced
5 tablespoons peanut oil
2 1/2-3 1/2 lbs frying chickens, cut into serving pieces
1 habanero pepper, pricked with a fork
1/2 cup pimento stuffed olive
4 carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon dijon-style mustard
1/2 cup water

Steps:

  • In a large nonreactive bowl, prepare a marinade by mixing the lemon juice, onions, salt, pepper, minced chile, and 4 tbsp of the peanut oil.
  • Place the chicken pieces in the marinade, making sure that they are all well covered. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow the chicken to marinate for at least 3 hours in the refrigerator.
  • Preheat the broiler.
  • Remove the chicken pieces, reserving the marinade and onions, and place the chicken in a shallow pan. Broil the chicken until it is lightly browned on both sides.
  • Remove the onions from the marinade.
  • Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a 5 quart pot or dutch oven and cook the onions slowly until tender and translucent.
  • Add the reserved marinade. When liquid is thoroughly heated, add the chicken pieces, pricked chile, olives, carrots, mustard, and water.
  • When the dish has reached the desired degree of hotness, remove the chile and reserve (it can be served separately to the chile heads).
  • Stir to mix well, then bring the yassa slowly to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer, covered, for about 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Serve hot over white rice.
