Ingredients:
3 lb Chicken, quartered*
2 Chicken livers
3/4 cup Onion, minced
1/4 tsp Saffron threads, pulverized
Turmeric, to mix w/saffron
1/2 tsp Freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp Salt
1/4 cup Parsley, roughly chopped
1/4 cup ;Water
2 To 3 tb. smen
2 tbsp Fresh sweet butter
1/2 Preserved lemon
2 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
Instructions:
*See "Basic Method for Preparing Poultry" recipe.

Place prepared chicken in 5 1/2 qt. casserole with the livers and
minced onion. Sprinkle with the spices and 1 tsp. salt. Toss to coat
evenly.

Puree parsley in blender or food processor with 1/4 c water. Add half
the "parsley water" and all of the smen to the casserole. Pour in 1
cup water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for one
hour, adding more water if necessary. Remove chicken to a colander
when very tender and keep warm while the sauce simmers one full hour.

Heat the 2 tb. sweet butter in a skillet; gently brown the drained
chicken quarters. Transfer to a flameproof serving dish, cover, and
keep warm.

Meanwhile, add the remaining "parsley water" to the sauce in the
casserole and, by boiling rapidly, uncovered, reduce to 1 1/2 cups.
Dump the sauce, livers, and odd bits of skin and bits in the blender.
Whirl until the sauce is smooth. Pour over the chicken and reheat.

Discard the pulp from the preserved lemon and dice the peel. Sprinkle
diced lemon peel over the chicken. Simmer 5 minutes, taste for
seasoning, and add additional salt if necessary. Sprinkle with lemon
juice and serve at once.

This is a classic dish from Fez.
