Waiting for a cook

Mhawet

Algeria

What we know so far

Mhawet, from the verb for flaking or crumbling, is an Algerian Ramadan dish of the white-sauce family: chicken poached with onion, smen, cinnamon and chickpeas until tender, taken off the bone and shredded fine (the texture recalls flaked fish), bound with egg and parsley into small sausages, floured and fried, then served in the cinnamon-and-lemon broth with the chickpeas. In Constantine it is called tajine ihani, "the one that takes away a worry", because it was made the day after a wedding from the leftover chicken.
