CHICKEN
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon rosemary leaves
- 1 teaspoon chopped thyme
- 1 teaspoon chopped oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1-1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 1-/2-inch cubes
- Mrs Dash Table Blend for seasoning or salt
HARISSA
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon coriander seeds
- 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
- 2 roasted red peppers from a jar, coarsely chopped
- 1 red Thai chile, with seeds, chopped
- 1 jalapeno chopped
- 2-3 garlic clove, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon Mrs Dash Extra Spicy
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Mrs Dash Table Blend for seasoning or salt
Hummus, for serving
- In a large bowl, mix the olive oil with the rosemary, thyme, oregano and ground cumin. Add the chicken and toss well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- In a small skillet, toast the cumin, coriander and caraway seeds over moderately high heat, shaking the skillet a few times, until the spices are fragrant, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a spice grinder and let cool completely. Grind to a powder.
- In a blender, combine the roasted peppers with the chile, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice and ground spices and puree. Season the harissa with Mrs Dash Table Blend or salt.
- Light a grill. Thread the chicken pieces onto 8 metal skewers. Season with Mrs Dash Table Blend or salt and grill over moderately high heat, turning, until nicely charred and just cooked, about 14 minutes. Serve the skewers with the harissa and hummus.
