The North African-styled Ras El Hanout Chicken Pitas were served with a Cherry Tomato and Cucumber Tabbouleh Salad. The cool Greek Yogurt and Cucumber sauce was a nice balance to the spicy chicken. The Tabbouleh salad was delicious.
"Res el Hanout" is an Arabic term meaning "head of the shop." Traditionally it was the shopkeeper's best spices of the day blended together. Most blends of this spice include coriander, cumin, allspice, cardamon, ginger, turmeric and black pepper.
The Tabbouleh salad is made with bulgur wheat, which is a versatile grain made from Drurm wheat. The word "Bulgur" is a Turkish word and is a staple in Turkish cuisine.
This was my hubby's favorite meal of the week.
