Chicken B'Steeya recipe Holiday food from Africa, B'stilla, a traditional Moroccan recipe
Chicken B'steeya B'stilla, a traditional Moroccan recipe
INGREDIENTS
- As some of you already know I am living in a Rehab center. I have been here almost 30 days. Today I spent most of the day isolating though I have been very social here. I read a book. I did get dressed and do my PT. I exercised some extra and drank a lot of water as I was retaining water this morning and gained 9 extra pounds. Before the day was out I had lost most of it. I went out to eat yesterday and did not think about it much but it was a buffet and too much salt. I love this recipe. It was given to me by my aide who is from Africa and they fix this on special occasions she tells me. I had my daughter make it for me and oh is it good.
- 1 whole roaster chicken, about 4 pounds, cut into 8 pieces
- Coarse salt
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/8 teaspoon crumbled saffron
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, plus more for sprinkling
- 1 cup coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, plus 1/2 cup melted (1 1/2 sticks total)
- 6 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Freshly ground pepper
- 1 3/4 cups blanched whole almonds, toasted and coarsely chopped
- 3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar, plus more for sprinkling
- 1/4 cup orange-flower water
- 1 package (17 ounces) store-bought phyllo dough
DIRECTIONS
- Put chicken and 1/3 cup salt in a medium bowl; toss to coat. Refrigerate 1 hour. Rinse chicken with cold water; pat dry. Mix chicken, onion, garlic, saffron, ginger, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 cup parsley, and 1/4 cup cilantro in a large bowl; cover, and refrigerate overnight.
- Transfer chicken mixture to a medium-heavy pot. Add enough water to cover (about 4 cups). Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium. Add 1/4 cup butter; cover, and simmer until chicken is falling off the bone, 1 to 1 1/2 hours, adding water to cover if necessary. Transfer chicken to a plate; let cool. Reserve poaching liquid. Remove meat from bones and shred; discard skin and bones. Set chicken aside.
- Bring reserved poaching liquid to a boil over high heat; cook until reduced to 3/4 cup. Reduce heat to medium high. Slowly add eggs; whisk constantly until mixture is almost set, 4 to 6 minutes. Stir in remaining 1/2 cup parsley, 1/4 cup cilantro, and the lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
- Stir together almonds, sugar, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl; set aside.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Brush a 13-inch paella or pizza pan with 2 tablespoons melted butter. Stir together remaining melted butter and the orange-flower water in small bowl. Assemble B'steeya: Brush a sheet of phyllo with butter mixture. Put in pan, leaving a 4-inch overhang. Repeat, adding and buttering 7 more sheets of phyllo, overlapping layers and fanning out around pan. (Keep unbuttered phyllo covered with plastic wrap and a damp kitchen towel.)
- Arrange chicken mixture over dough. Pour in egg mixture. Top with 5 layers phyllo brushed with butter mixture. Sprinkle with almond mixture. Fold up edges of phyllo to enclose. Top with 5 layers phyllo brushed with butter mixture; tuck edges inside pan. Slightly crinkle 2 unbuttered phyllo over top. Bake until golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.

The use of Iron and Iron supplements, side effects, Sources of Iron in food and recipes containing iron
Iron is a mineral. I personally have an iron deficiency by researching on the internet I have found some solutions to using iron. I found a bunch of side effects of using iron,as well as separate disease caused by iron deficiency. By doing this I was able to suggest to my doctor what tests to take.
Most of the iron in the body is found in the hemoglobin of red blood cells and in the hemoglobin of muscle cells. Iron is needed for transporting oxygen and carbon dioxide. It also has other important roles in the body.
People take iron supplements for preventing and treating low levels of iron (iron deficiency) and the resulting iron deficiency anemia. In people with iron deficiency anemia, the red blood cells can't carry enough oxygen to the body because they don't have enough iron. People with this condition often feel very tired.
Iron is also used for improving athletic performance and treating attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and canker sores. Some people also use iron for Crohn's disease, depression, fatigue, and the inability to get pregnant.

Iron is probably going SAFE for many individuals once it's taken orally in acceptable amounts. However, it will cause aspect effects as well as dyspepsia and pain, constipation or symptom, nausea, and vomiting.

Iron ought to be taken on Associate in Nursing empty abdomen if potential. If it causes too several aspect effects, it are often soft on food. attempt to avoid taking it with foods containing dairy farm product, coffee, tea, or cereals.
There ar several types of iron product like metallic element salt, metallic element gluconate, metallic element fumarate, and others. Some product, like those containing polysaccharide-iron complicated (Niferex-150, etc), claim to cause fewer aspect effects than others. however there's no reliable proof to support this claim.
Some enteric coated or controlled unharness iron product would possibly cut back nausea for a few people; but, these product even have less absorption by the body.
Liquid iron supplements might blacken teeth.
High doses of iron ar possible UNSAFE, particularly for kids. Iron is that the commonest reason behind poisoning deaths in kids. Doses as low as sixty mg/kg are often fatal.

Special Precautions & Warnings:
Pregnancy and breast-feeding: Iron is probably going SAFE for pregnant and breast-feeding ladies WHO have enough iron keep in their bodies once employed in doses below the tolerable higher intake level (UL) of forty five mg per day of elemental iron.
