November 01, 2023, 03:43:43 pm Ruhi_Rose: Yes .. making lots of dua everyday ..... watching those real life video clips, my face feels wet with tears all the time.  May ALLAH grant the best to these wonderful, brave & steadfast martyrs,  Ameen ya Allah.
November 01, 2023, 03:38:26 pm Zainab_M: Keep praying, praying a lot for Gaza. It's worse than a prison .. it's a concentration camp.  Children as young as 10 or 11 are having to care for their younger siblings ages 2, 3 and 4 becoz many have lost both parents.  It's a very, very, very tearful situation there.
October 26, 2023, 03:40:19 pm N. Truth Seeker: Don't forget to look up MV Blog Zainab's Lounge for our Gaza updates.
October 20, 2023, 04:24:44 pm Zainab_M: Right sister Heba.  Gaza hospital bombing has the fingerprints of Israel all over it.  For Israel this is no big crime.  They have done this and much worse many times in the past and intend to do the same and worse many more times in near future.
October 20, 2023, 04:20:20 pm Heba E. Husseyn: Catching Zionist lies isn't hard. Soon after Gaza hospital bombing killing and maiming hundreds, Israel was quick to accuse Islamic Jihad of a misfired rocket.  That didn't sound plausible because IJ does not have such sophisticated bombing devices.  Zionist lie was fully exposed when anglican archbishop of Jerusalem,Hosam Naoum,  said today that 3 or 4 days prior to boming Israel had warned Gaza hospital to evacuate. Yet CIA claims in its flawed analysis that the rocket did not come from Israel.  But conveniently does not explain how Israel could have known 4 days earlier that a "misfired" rocket from IJ was coming.  Yet on the basis of this flawed & bias analysis of CIA, Biden is comforting Israel he believes Israel didn't do that war crimes bombing.
July 29, 2023, 03:02:07 am Zainab_M: Yesterday was Ashura, Muharram 10, 1444 (July 27, 2023).  Read about this very tragic day and details of the world's greatest 7th century revolutionary: WHO WAS HUSSEIN.
June 28, 2023, 09:48:39 am Zainab_M: Walaikum As Salaam.  This was the first Hajj open to all after the pandemic. It was attended by 2.6 million Muslims.

This is really one of those appetizing, mouth-watering, quick, simple and nutritious all-in-one recipe.  And except for the chicken, it has quite a lot of variations too.  That makes it still easier to keep it as an unplanned dinner menu.

You can use a smaller chicken if you so desire.  Other options are in brackets of the ingredient list and also at the end of the recipe.



Relish dot com   Excuse me, a piece of chicken looks a bit burned and I always try to avoid that.

INGREDIENTS

1.8kg chicken cut in the usual pieces, removing excess fat
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (can even use canola or corn oil)
8 whole cloves garlic  (can also use 2 tsp crushed garlic)
3 medium (600g) red bell pepper, quartered
12 baby (500g)  potatoes
salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 medium (400g) red tomatoes, skinned, seeded, quartered (can even keep the skin)
¾ cup (180ml) water  (if you think you need to add more, please do so)
¼ cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley  (can also use chopped corriander)


METHOD

Preheat oven to moderate (180°C/160°C fan-forced).  Wash and pat chicken dry with paper towel.

In an ovenproof dish, put the chicken pieces, pour the oil over it, add garlic paste, bell pepper and potatoes.  Also season with salt and pepper and add the water. Bake, covered with an aluminium sheet for 30 minutes, turning chicken and vegetables a little a few times. Then add tomatoes, bake, uncovered, further 15 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.  Before removing it from the oven, just for one minute or so, it's a good idea to put off the bake and put on the broiler.  Keep the dish under the broiler for about one minute.  It gives a nicer color.   Serve warm with dinner rolls, croissants or begels.  Enjoy and thank Allah for His great blessings!

More options:
You can I add oregano, thyme, and basil for a slightly different flavor, if you like.  You can also add a few thick green chillies for a different look and hotter taste.  Those interested in keeping it less bland can use cummin powder, corriander powder and even a bit of chilli powder.  Feel absolutely free to use your professional creativity!
