Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in heavy large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add chicken to pot and sauté until brown, about 8 minutes per batch. Transfer chicken to bowl. Add onion to pot and sauté until golden, about 5 minutes. Remove pot from heat. Spread 1/3 of carrots over onion, then 1/3 of rice and 1/3 of prunes. Arrange half of chicken atop prunes. Season with paprika, salt and pepper. Repeat layering with 1/3 each of carrots, rice and prunes. Top with remaining chicken; season with paprika, salt and pepper. Layer remaining carrots, rice and prunes over. Pour stock over.

IRAQI MUNG BEANS AND RICE - MASH M'TUBUQ

Steps:

• If using a rice cooker, measure the amount of water for the rice only. Otherwise, mix all ingredients together and cover with water that measures about the width of a finger above the rice line. Cover, bring to a boil, lower heat and allow to steam for about 1/2 hour. You can check the rice and beans for doneness.
• Traditionally, when the rice is half cooked, it's divided in half, the mung beans and onions are laid on the bottom half of the rice in the pan and the rest of the rice is then laid on top (hence "m'tubuq" meaning "layered". Cover again and continue to steam.
• When done, it can be served with plain yogurt or date syrup (dibbis). I prefer nice tart yogurt.

Steps:

• Peel and slice carrots lengthwise then cut each strip into 2 or 3 more lengthwise strips. Bunch together and cut strips into roughly ¼ inches producing diced carrots. Perfection not needed. If you're lucky enough to have a gadget to do this, that's great.
• Dice the onion.
• If you have a rice cooker, the rice into the cooker and add water (according to manufacturer's recommendation) for rice only. Then place all other ingredients into cooker and stir to mix. Close cooker and allow to go through normal cooking time.
• If you don't have a rice cooker, put all the ingredients into a large pot. Add water to about one finger's width above the contents in the pot and cover. Bring to a boil and immediately reduce heat to low and allow contents to steam for about 30 minutes.
• Traditionally, when the rice is half cooked, it's divided in half, the carrots and onions are laid on the bottom half and the rest of the rice is then laid on top, hence "m'tubuq" meaning "layered". Cover again and continue to steam.
