Method
- Wash the wheat well then soak it overnight
- The next day, wash the wheat again and set it aside
- Wash the chicken then boil it with lemon peel and salt only, because strong spices change the harissa's flavor, so we do not use them
- When the chicken is cooked, lift it out of its broth and set it aside, then boil the hulled wheat in that broth
- Mash the wheat grains continuously during cooking using two spoons... place the grains between the spoons and press... repeat until fully cooked
- When the wheat is very well cooked add the boiled, de-boned chicken
- Melt the butter in a pan then add it over the harissa pot... add salt to taste and stir for just five minutes
- Serve the wheat harissa with chicken hot
