Greek Chicken Stew with Cauliflower is a healthy and flavorful meal that showcases the bright flavors of the Mediterranean.

I know I have gone a little cauliflower crazy, but it is so flexible, so healthy, and unlike, for example, zucchini (another go-to vegetable I love) my kids love it too. Now in this particular case I was not adding cauliflower to anything; rather cauliflower was what I had in my crisper drawer, and Martha Rose Shulman’s NY Times recipe for Greek Chicken Stew with Cauliflower and Olives is one of the top recipes to pop up on a search for chicken and cauliflower. And I love Shulman and her recipes, so making it was a no brainer.

This is a short but sweet post, because I mostly followed her recipe for Greek Chicken Stew with Cauliflower and as such am just linking you to it (see paragraph above). The first change is that I did not bother skinning my chicken legs. The second is not a change so much as a clarification: after thinking about it for a while, I decided to use Ceylon cinnamon for its gentle fruitiness. If you use a Cassia cinnamon report back and let me know how it is! As you can see in the pictures, I served the dish on couscous. I realize this drives traditionalists crazy, as any Moroccan will tell you that couscous is its own dish. But Alex adores couscous, so occasionally I like to use it similarly to rice to make her happy. The last and most important change is that I added several handfuls of golden raisins to the dish. For me the sweet contrast really perked things up and made the dish.

Hi! I’m Laura and I am a recovering history major who has re-channeled all of my passion for learning about the history of different countries to learning about their food culture. That doesn’t mean every dish on here is strictly authentic, but it does mean that even my adaptations are not undertaken lightly. My goal is to show you–by doing–that these dishes are possible in your kitchen. Including desserts because I have quite the sweet tooth! Read More…
