collective cooking

The lovely Gryphonrhi is visiting, and between us we came up with the DELICOUS dish the other day:

Brown pieces of kosher chicken.
Separately, sautee one large or two medium/small onions. Add 3 sticks of celery, 4 cut up preserved lemons, sliced olives (varietal), saffron, black pepper, salt or, as we did, the juice from the olives, and a spoonful of unsweetened cocoa. Seriously.

In a cast-iron enamel or otherwise hardy dish, layer the chicken, rice (we used whole grain "forbidden rice" -- nutty and alluring), and the rest of the ingredients.

Add water as needed for the rice you are using. I used a 2-1 ratio and a little more.

Bake at 350 for 2-3 hours, checking on the water level occasionally.

Rhi, did I leave anything out? DELICIOUS.

eta: dried thin sliced tomatoes, and some tomato paste.
