GREEK CHICKEN STEW WITH CAULIFLOWER AND OLIVES
Chicken, cauliflower, olives, tomatoes, feta - this is a stew of extraordinary flavor and complexity, down to its hints of cinnamon and garlic. The recipe uses skinless chicken legs or thighs; you could substitute ones with the skin if you like. (But don't use chicken breasts, which will dry out.) You can use more or less chicken depending on your needs. And, important to note, you can freeze the finished dish, making it an excellent delivery to new parents or anyone in need of a home-cooked meal.

Steps:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat in a large, deep, heavy lidded skillet or casserole and brown the chicken, in batches if necessary, about 5 minutes on each side. Remove the pieces to a plate or bowl as they're browned. Pour off the fat from the pan. Add the vinegar to the pan and scrape up all the bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of the olive oil to the pan, and turn the heat down to medium. Add the onion and a generous pinch of salt and cook, stirring often and scraping the bottom of the pan, until it begins to soften, about 5 minutes. Turn the heat to low, cover and let the onion cook for 10 minutes, stirring from time to time, until it is lightly browned and very soft.
- Add the garlic and stir together for a minute or two more, until the garlic is fragrant, then add the tomatoes and their juice, the cinnamon, thyme, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer and simmer 10 minutes, stirring from time to time, until the mixture is reduced slightly and fragrant.
- Return the chicken pieces to the pot, along with any juices that have accumulated in the bowl. If necessary, add enough water to barely cover the chicken. Bring to a simmer, reduce the heat, cover and simmer 20 minutes.
- Add the cauliflower and kalamata olives and simmer for another 20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and the chicken is just about falling off the bone. Stir in the parsley, taste and adjust seasonings. Serve with grains, with the feta sprinkled on top if desired.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until they begin to soften, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and seasoning and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add the tomatoes, garbanzo beans, broth, bay leaves, and pepper. Stir well. Bring to a boil and boil for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the chicken, lower the heat to medium, and simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent sticking. The mixture will thicken. Remove the bay leaves and discard. Stir in the olives and lemon juice, and serve immediately over the couscous.
- While the stew is simmering, bring the broth, oil and salt to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in the couscous and raisins, cover, and remove the pan from the heat. When the moisture has been absorbed, about 5 minutes, sprinkle the cinnamon and orange juice over the couscous. Fluff with a fork to combine the flavors and loosen the couscous. Do not stir.
KOTA KOKKINISTI (GREEK CINNAMON CHICKEN)
Steps:
- Rinse and pat dry your chicken thighs with paper towels. Season your flour with some salt to taste. Place the chicken in a bowl and sprinkle with the seasoned flour and toss to coat the pieces.
- Heat a large pot and once hot, sear your chicken for 1-2 minutes per side. Do not touch them or try to move the pieces until ready to flip over or else they will stick and tear. You'll know they're ready to flip when they are easily movable.
- Once chicken is browned on both sides, add the wine to the pan to deglaze with a spoon or spatula - get all the brown bits off the bottom of the pan- that's the flavor.
- Next, add the olive oil and onion and gently toss around for two minutes.
- Stir in the tomatoes, paste, cinnamon, all spice, cloves, salt and pepper to taste, sugar and warm water. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Uncover and continue to cook for another 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste the sauce and adjust salt according to your palate.

GREEK STEW
I'm not sure how 'Greek' this is. However, my father made this, his parents came from Cephalonia, and he called it 'Greek stew.' As with many such recipes, the leftovers are even better a day or two later.

Steps:
- Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels so they won't splatter in the pan. Mix the cinnamon, salt and pepper together in a small bowl. Rub the chicken pieces on all sides with mixture. Mince 3 of the garlic cloves, set aside.
- Heat oil in a large, deep, 12" cast iron skillet(or stainless steel, but you want high sides-about 3") over high heat. Don't crowd the pieces in the pan or the chicken will steam rather than brown. If you need to, do in 2 batches.
- Add the chicken to skillet and brown for 4-5 minutes on each side, moving the pieces with a metal spatula so they don't stick to the pan. When the chicken is browned nicely on all sides, remove from skillet and set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium high and add onions and minced garlic. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until onions have softemed and are a rich golden brown. Add the wine and scrape the bottom of the pan with a spoon to deglaze, loosening any brown bits.
- When the wine has evaporated, add the water, tomato paste, and remaining 2 whole garlic cloves. Return the chicken to the pan. The liquid should cover about 3/4 of the chicken.
- Reduce heat to low, cover skillet with a lid, and simmer for about 1 hour, or until the chicken is tender and thoroughly cooked. If the sauce gets too thick, thin with a little more water. Taste and adjust seasoning to your taste.
- Great served with buttered noodles, rice, orzo, or macaroni. Sprinkle the grated cheese over the top of each serving. Enjoy!

GREEK CINNAMON STEWED CHICKEN
Steps:
- Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. A wet chicken will cause the oil to splatter while the chicken is sautéing. Mix the salt, pepper and cinnamon in a small bowl. Rub the chicken pieces on all sides with the seasoning.
- Heat the olive oil in a large deep skillet over high heat. A 12-inch skillet with sides about 2 1/2 to 3 inches high will allow you to brown all the chicken at once. If you don’t have a skillet large enough, brown the chicken in two batches. What’s important is that the chicken isn’t overcrowded, which would cause the pieces to steam rather than brown,
- Put the chicken in the pan, skin side down. Brown for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Turn the pieces using tongs, as they have a tendency to stick to the pan. Remove the chicken to a platter.
- Lower the heat to medium high and add the onions and minced garlic to the drippings in the pan. Cook for about 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the onions have softened and are a light golden brown. Add the wine, and scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to deglaze the pan, loosening any particles stuck on the bottom.
- When the wine has evaporated, add the water, chicken broth and tomato paste. Stir to dissolve the tomato paste. Return the chicken to the pan and add the oregano. The liquid should come about halfway up the chicken pieces.
- Cover the pan and simmer over low heat for about 1 hour or until the chicken is tender and completely cooked. If the sauce becomes too thick, it can be thinned with a little more water. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the chicken over cooked orzo. Top with the red sauce and sprinkle with the cheese. Garnish with fresh parsley leaves.

- Mince 3 cloves of garlic. Reduce heat to medium-high and add minced garlic and onions. Saute until onions soften and begin to brown, about 5 minute Deglaze with 1/2 c water or broth, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

- Return the chicken to the pan, nestling it down in the sauce. If the sauce does not come 3/4 of the way up the side of the chicken pieces, add more water or broth.
