1

1

1
tbsp dried crushed red pepper
2
tbsp olive oil
2
garlic cloves
3
tbsp Hungarian sweet paprika
1
1/2 tsp salt
Chicken and dressing
2
tbsp plus 1/2 cup olive oil
5
tbsp fresh lime juice, divided
1
tsp finely grated lime peel
1
2 3/4- to 3-pound chicken, quartered, backbone removed
Pinch of sugar
Curried couscous
1
3/4 cups low-salt chicken broth
1
1/2 tsp curry powder
1

Directions

1.
For harissa:
2.
Toast caraway, coriander, and cumin seeds in medium skillet over medium heat until slightly darker in color, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Cool completely. Grind cooled spices and dried crushed red pepper in mortar with pestle or spice grinder to fine powder. Add oil and garlic; grind to smooth paste. Stir in paprika and salt. (Can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
3.
For chicken and dressing:
4.
Whisk 3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon harissa, 2 tablespoons oil, 2 tablespoons lime juice, and lime peel in small bowl. Rub mixture over all sides of chicken pieces. Place chicken in 11x7x2-inch glass baking dish. Cover and marinate overnight.
5.
Whisk remaining 1/2 cup oil, 3 tablespoons lime juice, and pinch of sugar in medium bowl to blend. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper. (Dressing can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
6.
Preheat barbecue (medium-low heat). Grill chicken until cooked through, turning and repositioning occasionally for even cooking, about 45 minutes total. Let stand at room temperature.
7.
For couscous:
8.
Bring chicken broth and curry powder to boil in heavy small saucepan. Stir in couscous, cover, and remove from heat; let stand 5 minutes. Fluff couscous with fork and transfer to platter. Place chicken atop couscous. Serve, passing dressing and remaining harissa alongside.
