26 November, 1942 - RICK'S CAFÉ AMÉRICAIN OPENS ITS DOORS AS 'CASABLANCA'
PREMIERES: At its premiere, few involved in the production expect
'Casablanca' to cause much of a stir, despite its star power in
Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman. But the film will go into wide
distribution in January, and as time goes by, its characters, theme
song, and dialogue will go on to reach iconic status.

     Title: Casablanca Chicken Couscous
Categories: Poutry, Pasta, Fruits, Dairy, Vegetables
     Yield: 6 servings

     1 tb Olive oil
     1 md Onion; chopped
     1 lb Chicken thighs; in 1" pieces
   8.8 oz Pkg uncooked pearl couscous*
   1/2 ts Salt
   1/4 ts Pepper
   1/4 ts Crushed red pepper flakes
    29 oz (2 cans) chicken broth
   2/3 c  Dried tropical fruit
    15 oz Can garbanzo beans or chick
          - peas; rinsed, drained
   1/2 c  Plain yogurt
     1 sm Carrot; grated
   1/4 c  Minced fresh parsley
     1 md Lemon

 In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high
 heat. Add onion; saute until softened, 3-4 minutes. Add
 chicken, couscous, salt, pepper and pepper flakes; cook
 and stir until chicken begins to brown, 3-5 minutes. Add
 broth and dried fruit; cook, uncovered, until chicken
 and couscous are tender and fruit is moist, 8 to 10
 minutes.

 Stir in remaining ingredients; heat through. Remove from
 heat. Let stand, covered, 10 minutes. Meanwhile, zest
 lemon peel into strips; cut lemon into six wedges. Top
 couscous with zest strips and serve with lemon wedges.

 * Pearl couscous is much larger than regular couscous
 and takes longer to cook, so don't be tempted to
 substitute one for the other.

 Pearl couscous may be labeled Israeli couscous or ptitim
 in Middle Eastern markets.

 Makes: 6 servings
