Instructions
  1. Heat a large paella pan (or large saute pan) over medium heat. Add the olive oil. When oil is hot, add the onion and saute for 5 minutes, until onion is softened and turning golden. Add the garlic and saute for 30 seconds.
  2. Add the tomato paste and continue to cook until it is completely mixed in and the onions are rust colored, 2- 3 minutes.
  3. Add the salt, paprika, chili flakes, turmeric and saffron, stir to incorporate.
  4. Add the rice and stir fry until the rice is completely coated with the oil and spices.
  5. Stir in the stock. Bring to a simmer.
  6. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
  7. Add in the sliced chorizo and cook for about 5 more minutes.
  8. Add cooked chicken. You may need to press the shrimp into the rice with a spoon so that they are almost covered with the remaining liquid. Cook for 5-10 more minutes or until liquid is evaporated.
  9. Sprinkle parsley on top and serve.
Recipe Notes

*If you cannot find bomba rice you can use arborio. Be sure to follow package instructions for the amount of liquid, defer to package instructions if they are different than what is listed here. *If you cannot find Spanish chorizo you can use andouille sausage or Kielbasa. Be sure you get the kind that is ready to eat and not one that is raw. *I always use kosher salt. If you do not have kosher salt and are using regular table salt, reduce salt to ½ teaspoon and adjust for taste. *The bottom of the paella can burn, be sure to reduce heat to low and watch carefully to avoid burning.

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees / 190 c
  2. Stuff ½ of one lemon into the chicken's cavity with 5-8 garlic cloves.
  3. Generously salt and pepper chicken.
  4. Add to dutch oven and throw in rest of lemon and garlic.
  5. Sprinkle chicken with oregano.
  6. If you like extra crispy chicken skin, add a pat or two of butter to the top.
  7. Add lid and cook 1½ hours, checking temp every 20 minutes after an hour. You want the temp to get to 160, and then remove the lidded dutch oven, as it will keep cooking to reach the safe internal temperature of 165 degrees for a chicken.
  8. Let dutch oven sit for 10 minutes after removing from oven to allow for carryover cooking, and so the juices have a chance to rest.
  9. Remove from pan, and carve!
Recipe Notes

Tips to Perfect Whole Roasted Greek Chicken

The only real work here is stuffing some lemons and garlic into the chicken and seasoning the bird up.

After that, just toss it in the pan and cook for about an hour and a half- and you’re done!

The chicken also gives off a delicious cooking liquid that is very gravy like, and very lemony.

The garlic also turns a delicious golden brown and has an incredible caramel flavor. I like to add a little of this to cous cous for an insanely delicious flavor!

I prefer using a chicken under 3 1/2 pounds – I feel they provide more flavor in this recipe. Look for free range organic chicken if possible.

While butter doesn’t seem like the proper Greek way (hello, olive oil!), every family I’ve eaten this dish wish from Greece uses butter for the flavor. I realize this is very Americanized, and you can use either – but the butter gives a lovely richness to the chicken skin that I just don’t quite get with olive oil. Go ahead and use oil if you prefer it though!

Instructions
  1. Roast the garlic. Preheat oven to 400F. Remove as much of the papery cover from the garlic head as you can. Cut the top of the garlic head so that each clove is exposed. Drizzle olive oil over the exposed cloves. Wrap the garlic head in foil so that it is complete covered but not compressed, and will sit upright on a baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes or until it is soft.
  2. While garlic is roasting, cook the tomato sauce in a small pan just warm enough to simmer gently. Cook until reduced to 1/3-1/4 original volume.
  3. In large sauce pan, add olive oil and heat until the oil is hot and shimmering. Add chopped onion and cook until softened and just starting to brown. Add the roast garlic cloves and crush them slightly in the pan. Add crushed tomatoes.
  4. Add herbs to taste. You can use dried or fresh. I use 3-4 sprigs of thyme, about 2 sprigs of oregano, and around 6 basil leaves. You can always add more. after it has cooked for a few minutes. I did not chop the herbs because I blend the sauce once it's done cooking, but if you don't intend to blend, you should probably chop the herbs finely.
  5. Let simmer slowly, stirring frequently, for about 20-10 minutes. Taste a couple of times to see if you need more herbs. Salt and pepper to taste.
  6. The sauce is now ready to serve, unless you want to blend it until smooth.
  7. CAUTION: Blending hot items is NOT recommended, and can be dangerous, and the lid can pop off and hot liquids can fly around. And yes, they can burn! You should probably give the sauce a few minutes to cool before you blend. Depending on the size of your blender, you may need to blend it in two batches.
  8. Pour the sauce back into the sauce pan and rewarm before serving. I like to add the salt and pepper at this point, since now the tomatoes and herbs have had plenty of time to cook together.

Instructions
  1. For the vegetables: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Cook the potato slices for 5 minutes (do not cook longer) in heavily salted, boiling water. Meanwhile, slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch slices, brush with the olive oil and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoons salt and the pepper on both sides. Place on a baking sheet and cook in the oven, 6 to 7 minutes per side. Set aside the potato and eggplant slices for assembly.
  2. For the meat sauce: In a large saucepan, sweat the onions with some salt in the olive oil over medium heat. After 5 minutes, add the ground beef and cook until golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes. Add the oregano, cinnamon, nutmeg and garlic, and cook until fragrant. Turn the heat up to high, and then deglaze the pan with the red wine, allowing to bubble and reduce for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomato sauce and lower the heat to simmer for 5 minutes. Remove the sauce from the heat and set aside.
  3. For the bechamel: In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and add the flour, whisking to make a paste. Whisk constantly for 2 minutes, allowing the mixture to bubble. Add the warm milk slowly, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Once the sauce starts to come to a boil, reduce the heat to low and cook until thickened, about 10 minutes, whisking very frequently. Add the salt, pepper and nutmeg, and set aside.
  4. For assembling the moussaka: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Before assembling, taste each of the 4 layers and confirm that they are properly seasoned. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with vegetable oil. Lay out the potato slices, pressing gently into the pan. Sprinkle with 3 tablespoons of the Parmesan. Place the eggplant on top of the potatoes. Sprinkle with another 3 tablespoons of the Parmesan. Spoon the meat sauce on top, followed by 3 more tablespoons of Parmesan. Finish with pouring over the bechamel and top with the last 3 tablespoons of Parmesan. Cover with foil (sprayed lightly with vegetable oil) and bake for 30 minutes, then uncover and continue baking for an additional 30 minutes.
