DJEDJ MECHOUI (ALGERIAN POULET ROTI/ROAST CHICKEN)
This recipe comes from Farid Zari, who adapted his traditional way of spit roasting chicken to roasting it in his Los Angeles oven. He advises that the spices are a matter of personal taste--use what you like. He says the method does approximate the really crispy skin that he remembers from Algeria, but stresses that the quality of the chicken makes a huge difference, saying that at home in Algeria all the chickens were organic, free range and very fresh, and suggests that a soak in a salt water bath overnight would improve a run-of-the-mill supermarket chicken. Interestingly this cooking method follows the basic French method for roasting a bird -- and, after all, there is some cross-cultural history there.

Steps:
- Pre-heat oven to 450°F.
- Place the chicken on a rack in a roasting pan and slide your fingers under the skin of the breast and thighs to loosen/separate it from the flesh.
- Mash the garlic with the salt, using a fork or a mortar and pestle.
- Work the garlic/salt paste into the butter and then work in the spices; using your fingers, spread the spiced butter into the cavities between the skin and the flesh of the chicken.
- Squeeze the juice of one lemon over the chicken; sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Season the cavity with salt and pepper and place the four lemon halves and the thyme inside.
- Roast the chicken breast side down for 15 minutes.
- Turn the chicken breast side up and reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees.
- Baste frequently, using additional water and olive oil as needed.
- If the skin begins to brown too soon, cover with foil (but remove the foil about 15 minutes before the roasting time is up).
- The chicken should be done in about 90 minutes; the skin between the breasts and the legs should become almost transparent, the legs should move easily in the socket, and any juices should be clear.
- Let rest before carving.
- Strain excess fat out of the cooking juices and squeeze in some lemon juice for a lovely flavor.
- Note: Zari suggests serving with orange salads dressed with pomegranate vinaigrette and carrot salads dressed with lemon, cumin and olive oil.

CROCKPOT ROASTED CHICKEN (POULET ROTI - A RECIPE INSPIRED BY CHE
I took chef momaphet's posted recipe for Poulet Roti (Roast Chicken) - recipe#234424, and changed it slightly so it could be cooked usiing a crockpot. This is such an easy recipe to prepare and tastes similar to a rotisserie chicken. The chicken is moist and flavorful. Feel free to change amounts or types of herbs to your liking! This would be great with mashed potatoes and gravy. If your whole chicken has a neck and giblets, you can reserve them in your refrigerator until about an hour before dinner time and make a gravy with them. Just put them in a small pot, cover with water and a little onion and carrots and a little herbs, bring to a boil and then simmer for about an hour, strain this and use for your gravy (however you normally make gravy) for extra flavor. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Put the onions in the bottom of your crockpot.
- Mix together the herbs and spices, rubbing them together with your fingers to blend.
- Gently lift the skin from either side of the breast and using your fingers, push a bit of the herb mix under each side.
- Turn the chicken over and make a small slit behind each thigh and push some of the herb mix under the thigh skin.
- Sprinkle the rest of the herb mixture over the top of the chicken and if you have any left sprinkle it inside the chicken.
- Put your chicken into the crockpot, on top of the onions, breast side up. No liquid is needed, the chicken will make it's own juices!
- Cook in the crockpot on the low setting for 4-6 hours. My crockpot cooked the chicken in about 5 hours. I'd recommend a pop-up timer in the chicken because some crock pots cook faster/slower than others.

Steps:
- Place the chopped tomatoes in a colander and salt them and let them sit, draining, for about an hour.
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- Season the cavity of the chicken with salt and pepper and smear the cavity with the grated ginger.
- Smear the outside of the bird with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Place the chicken on its side in an oval baking dish and place the dish in the oven.
- When the bird begins to color (loght golden), turn it on its other side, then, when that side has begun to color, turn it on its back.
- After 20 minutes, turn the oven down to 350°F, remove the excess fat from the pan and begin to baste with lemon juice.
- Bring the wine to a simmer and reserve.
- When there is no more lemon juice, pour the wine into the pan and continue basting.
- Roast for about 45 minutes more, or until juice runs clear when the thigh is pricked above the drumstick joint.
- When the chicken is done, remove from the oven, and let it rest while you drain any excess fat from the pan juices.
- Meanwhile, cook the macaroni in generously salted, vigorously boiling water for about 12 minutes.
- In a heavy frying over high heat, add the garlic to 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
- As soon as the garlic begins to sizzle, add the tomatoes.
- Shake the pan constantly, tossing the tomatoes repeatedly for about a mnute or so, until they are nearly dry and give off a caramelized scent.
- Add the basil leaves, tearing them by hand, toss the tomato mixture again and remove from heat.
- Drain the macaroni and place in a wide shallow serving dish which you have warmed (easiest to do this by placing dish in sink when you drain the pasta--the pasta water will warm the dish).
- Add the tomatoes and the chicken's roasting juices to the macaroni and toss well.
- Carve the chicken at the table and serve it with the macaroni.

TRADITIONAL ALGERIAN SABLES (COOKIES) - LIKE LINZER AUGEN
This is my own family recipe for the traditional Algerian 'Sables' cookies. These sables are very easy to make & are a real favourite in our home. We like them with strawberry jam filling & icing sugar dusting or with apricot jam filing & dessicated coconut finish... but you can use any of your favourite preserves (if they have fruit pieces in you should sieve them before using. I have a special 4cm fluted sables cutter but you can use any cutters. I oftern use star cutters then punch out the small round centre by using a small metal bottle top (like on food colourings), or round cutter & using a small star, heart or flower cutter for the centre. These sables freeze nicely in layers separated by parchment or waxed paper in an airtight container. Allow to defrost in a single layer then dust the tops & fill with jam.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 170°C
- Cream the margarine & sugar(s) until light & fluffy.
- Beat in the egg & vanilla, then gradually fold in the flour & baking powder.
- Mix slowly until a soft dough forms. The dough is very soft & needs handling with care but it shouldn't be sticky. If your dough is still a little sticky, sift in a little extra flour.
- Roll out to about 4mm thick, be sure to flour the rolling pin well.
- Cut out 'tops & bottoms' for your sables.
- Place on a baking tray lined with aluminium foil (shiny side up) & bake for 8 minutes. The sables should be just set but still white.
- Allow the sables to cool on the sheet for a minute then remove to a cold plate or tray to finish cooling.
- When the sables are fully cooled, heat the jam until bubbling.
- Place all the sables tops onto a tray & dust generously with the icing sugar.
- Allow the jam to cool slightly then spoon approx 1/2 tsp of the jam onto the underside of the sables 'bottoms'.
- Then carefully place a 'top' over the blob of jam.
- Allow to set, then store in one layer in an airtight container for upto 10 days.
