  1. 1 Place eggplant into a colander set in a bowl or the sink; sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and toss to coat. Let eggplant stand for at least 1 hour. Rinse off the bitter liquid and excess salt and drain well.
  2. 2 Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in onion and celery; cook and stir until onion has softened and turned translucent and celery is fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  3. 3 Meanwhile, combine cumin, oregano, rosemary, paprika, mint, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl or mortar and pestle and mix well; this is the lamb seasoning (see Cook's Note). Set seasoning aside.
  4. 4 Stir eggplant cubes and garlic into vegetables in the skillet and cook for 5 minutes more. Add tomatoes and sprinkle with 1/2 of the lamb seasoning. Stir gently and cook for 5 minutes more.
  5. 5 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart casserole dish.
  6. 6 Pour 1/2 of the tomato sauce and chicken broth into the skillet and simmer for 10 minutes; add a little water if sauce starts to get dry. Transfer sauce to the prepared casserole dish.
  7. 7 Return the skillet to the stove over medium-high heat and add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Place ground lamb into the skillet and sprinkle with remaining seasoning mixture. Cook lamb in hot oil, stirring frequently, until evenly browned; it should look like imperfect meatballs.
  8. 8 Gently transfer lamb to the casserole dish, pushing it down into vegetable mixture so that it is at least partially submerged. Stir lemon juice into remaining tomato sauce and pour sauce over casserole.
  9. 9 Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 45 to 60 minutes, depending on how tender you like your vegetables.

Instructions

  1. 1 Place chicken, celery, carrot, onion, and bay leaf in a stockpot and cover with water. Set over high heat, add salt, and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the thighs and legs can be pulled easily from the carcass, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove chicken to a bowl, carefully tipping the carcass to drain any broth from the cavity back into the stockpot.
  2. 2 Let meat sit until it's cool enough to handle, 15 to 20 minutes. Separate skin, bones, and meat. Set aside 2 cups shredded meat (white, dark, or a combination of the two) for rice-a-roni and reserve the rest for another use.
  3. 3 Transfer skin and bones back to the stockpot with the broth and simmer for 1 to 2 hours or until you need it. Strain.
  4. 4 Combine oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. When hot and melted, add onion, bell pepper, and salt. Cook and stir until onion just starts to turn translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add broken spaghetti and cook until toasted and light golden brown to dark brown in color, about 3 minutes; it's okay if the onions and peppers start to caramelize.
  5. 5 Add rice and stir until completely coated. Add pepper, oregano, cumin, and saffron. Stir in 3 ½ cups chicken broth. Add cayenne, garbanzo beans, peas, and shredded chicken and return to a simmer.
  6. 6 Cover tightly with a lid, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook for 15 minutes; do not lift the lid or stir during this time.
  7. 7 Remove the lid and check the rice in a couple spots. It should be just barely tender. (If it seems undercooked, you can cover and cook for a few more minutes.) Replace the lid, turn off the heat, and let rice sit for 10 minutes.
  8. 8 Sprinkle parsley and cilantro over top and stir to combine. Check for seasoning and serve immediately.
