Moroccan inspired lemon chicken soup with chickpeas, rice, turmeric, and cumin. Delicious!
1 Coat the chicken pieces with the spices: Whisk the salt, turmeric, cumin, and black pepper together in a medium bowl. Add the chicken pieces and toss with the spices to coat.
2 Brown the chicken in olive oil: Heat olive oil in a large, thick-bottomed soup pot on medium high. Add the chicken pieces and brown lightly on all sides, 5-7 minutes total. Remove chicken to a bowl and set aside.
3 Sauté onions, celery, garlic, ginger: Add the chopped onion and celery to the pot. Sauté until lightly browned, about 5 to 6 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and cook a minute more.
4 Add chicken, stock, bay leaves, lemon zest strips, then simmer: Add the chicken pieces back to the pot. Add the stock, bay leaves, lemon zest strips. Bring to a simmer and simmer for 15 minutes.
5 Add rice, chickpeas, lemon juice, simmer: Add the rice, chickpeas, and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes, until the rice is cooked through.
6 Add salt pepper to taste: Remove bay leaves and lemon peel strips. Add salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with cilantro or parsley to serve.
My recipe for today. Doing some meal prepping.
OK - I do the low carb thing - when I do anything
ZUCCHINI AND MEATBALLS
1 LB LOW FAT GROUND BEEF
1 EGG
SEASON TO TASTE WITH SALT, PEPPER, GARLIC, ITALIAN SEASONING
MIX WELL AND SHAPE INTO 12 MEAT BALLS
SIMMER IN 29 OZ OF TOMATO SAUCE WITH A DRIZZLE OF OLIVE OIL, GARLIC, ITALIAN SEASONING, AND SALT UNTIL DONE.

MUSHROOM ARE ALSO A NICE ADDITION.
This recipe was more time-consuming than I thought. Or my a game may be off. . Taste good though.
But sounds good - may have to try it!
I keep in on warm overnight. It is really good this morning. Yum worth the extra effort. Had it for a morning appetizer, delicious. Now for some french toast. lol

Hmmm, wonder what happened to your picture....
I can see it.
Must be a private photo to you. The icon suggests I don't have permission.
I could see it when she originally posted the picture but I cannot now. I have noticed that with a few of Jackiie's pictures - also happened, I believe on her blog about beans. I have not noticed it happening to other people pictures.
