  2. 2 Place juice into a large pot. Stir in sugar, black pepper, horseradish, lemon juice, and enough water to form a thin consistency: season with Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil, and cook for 20 minutes.
  3. 3 Pack juice into hot, sterilized 1-quart jars, filling to within ¾ inch of the top. Stir in 1 tablespoon sugar and 1 teaspoon salt into each jar. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly.
  4. 4 Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 40 minutes.
  5. 5 Remove jars from the stockpot and let rest on a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, for 12 to 24 hours. Press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down. Remove the rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.

  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.

  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.

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.
