Saudi Kebsa

Ingredients:

• Olive oil
• 1000 grams chicken but could use more
• 2 cups onion
• 1/2 tablespoon ground ginger (comes in a jar)
• 1/2 tbsp orange zest
• 1 dried lemon
• 1 tbsp tomato paste
• 2 cups chopped tomato
• 1/2 cup almonds (halved, we used sliced though)
• 1/2 cup raisins
• 1.5 cups rice (could definitely do with less, even half)
• 2 cups shredded carrot
• Kebsa spice OR 1/2 tbsp of each – cardamom powder, cloves powder, cinnamon powder)
• Salt & pepper
• Lemon for garnish
• Yogurt

Put your rice in water to soak for 45 mins. also, the almonds should be halved, boiled, and rinsed, so you may want to do that ahead too.

Start by browning some onions in a pot. When brown , add your chicken and brown that too.

When the chicken is brown, add all the spices, dried lemon, tomato paste, and chopped tomatoes.

When the oil rises to the top, add 1 L of wawater.

Cover and boil for 25 mins. In this time you can brown your almonds and your raisins in some olive oil. Set them aside on a paper towel.

After the 25 minutes finishes, take out the chicken and bake it for 5-10 mins.

Add your carrots and wet rice to the mixture.

When the rice is dry, combine it all.

Peanut Butter Balls

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup flax seed 
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips
• 1 cup oats
• 2/3 cup peanut butter (I use the powdered peanut butter with less fat)
• 2 tbsp honey

Just combine everything into a single bowl and mix up. You can put it in the fridge if it’s difficult to roll the balls when you’re done stirring.
Since I used fake peanut butter mine were super hard to roll up.
