Ingredients

• ✓ lemon
• zhug sauce
• chicken breast
• chicken leg
• chicken thigh
• artichoke
• kalamata olive
• sun-dried tomato

Instructions

1. 1 Spread 1 1/2 tablespoons zhug sauce over each piece of chicken. Allow to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Remove from fridge about 30 minutes before cooking so chicken is at room temperature.
2. 2 Remover the outer leaves from artichokes to expose the core leaves and hearts. Cut artichokes into quarters. Put them into a bowl, cover with water, and add lemon juice. Mix artichokes around and set aside.
3. 3 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
4. 4 Place marinated chicken into a deep baking dish. Drain artichokes and add them around the chicken, pushing them down to keep them from being exposed and drying out. Top with olives and sun-dried tomatoes.
5. 5 Bake, uncovered, until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

4. 4 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
5. 5 Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a Dutch oven or tagine over medium heat. Cook and stir shallot in hot oil until translucent, 1 to 3 minutes. Turn off the heat. Stir in rice mixture until well combined.
6. 6 Remove and discard cilantro from the bag with chicken. Pour marinated chicken on top of rice mixture in the Dutch oven; reserve the bag. Pour broth into the bag, shake gently, and pour over chicken and rice. Cover the Dutch oven.
7. 7 Bake in the preheated oven until rice is tender, chicken is no longer pink in the center, and the meat juices run clear, about 75 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of chicken should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Ingredients

• ✓ lemon
• red cabbage
• green cabbage
• black pepper
• salt
• garlic
• parsley
• yogurt
• vegetable oil
• water
• salt
• all-purpose flour
• water
• white sugar
• active dry yeast
• salt
• cayenne pepper
• tomato paste
• ground lamb
• tomato
• cumin
• coriander seed
• paprika
• garlic
• olive oil
• mint
• basil
• red bell pepper
• green bell pepper
• parsley
• onion

Instructions

1. 1 Make lamb sauce: Combine onion, parsley, bell peppers, basil, mint, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, paprika, coriander seed, and cumin. Pulse until vegetables are finely chopped. Add tomatoes and process until mixture is a thick puree.
2. 2 Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add lamb, pureed vegetable mixture, and tomato paste; mix well. Cook and stir until lamb is cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in cayenne pepper and salt to taste. Transfer mixture to a shallow baking dish to cool to room temperature. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
3. 3 Make dough: Dissolve yeast and sugar in 1 cup warm water. Combine flour and salt in a large bowl and stir well. Add 1/2 cup water and oil to yeast mixture and pour over flour mixture. Use your hands to mix dough. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
4. 4 Shape dough into a ball and transfer to an oiled bowl. Cover with a wet towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour. Remove lamb sauce from the refrigerator and allow to come up to room temperature.
5. 5 Meanwhile, make garlic sauce: Combine yogurt, parsley, and garlic in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Stir well and set aside.
6. 6 Punch dough down, transfer it to a floured work surface, and cut into 10 portions. Shape each portion into a round. Flatten each round with your hand; use a rolling pin to roll each piece into a 10-inch circle. The dough should be thin, like a crepe. Place the rounds on parchment paper.
7. 7 Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
8. 8 Stir lamb sauce and spoon it onto a dough round. Spread it thinly to the edges and press down lightly so it sticks. Place on the prepared baking sheets.
9. 9 Bake pizzas on the lowest oven rack in the preheated oven until the edges are a light tan color, 8 to 10 minutes. Place on a wire rack to cool. The pizzas can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 days or in the freezer for 3 months. To reheat, place pizzas in a 350 degrees F oven (175 degrees C) for 8 minutes.
10. 10 Assemble lahmacun: Drizzle pizzas with garlic sauce, top with shredded cabbage, and roll up to eat.
