|

## Spice Blend
|
||
|
|
||
|
- 1 tsp cumin
|
||
|
- 1 tsp coriander
|
||
|
- 1 tsp turmeric
|
||
|
- 1 tsp salt
|
||
|
- 1/2 tsp paprika or cayenne pepper if you want some heat
|
||
|
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
|
||
|
- 1/4 tsp caraway
|
||
|
- 1/4 tsp thyme
|

|
||
|
## Directions
|
||
|
|
||
|
1. Mix the spices together (grinding any whole spices if necessary) and set them aside.
|
||
|
2. In a large frying pan or pot over medium heat, saute the onions in about 1 tbsp of olive oil until tender.
|
||
|
3. Toss chicken with 1/2 of the spice mix. Add this to the pan and brown.
|
||
|
4. Add the potatoes and the water to the pan. Bring to a gentle simmer, then cook uncovered until potatoes are tender and most of the liquid has evaporated.
|
||
|
5. Stir chopped parsley into the cooked mixture and set aside to cool.
|
||
|
6. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C), and grease a medium (2 quart/liter) baking pan with the remaining olive oil.
|
||
|
7. Thoroughly whisk the eggs in a large bowl, then mix in the cheese. Stir in the chicken, potato, and parsley mixture, along with the remaining spice mixture. Stir until well-combined, then pour into the oiled baking dish.
|
||
|
8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until set in the center. Allow to cool, and serve warm or at room temperature. Serve with some harissa, if you like.
