Directions

Source: The Jewish Gourmet Cookbook, from Nitty Gritty Productions Cut the chuck in six pieces, trimming away fat. Saute a few pieces of meat at a time in hot fat in a six-quart pot. Season the meat as it browns on all sides. Remove the meat to a platter. Brown the remaining meat. After it is removed from the pot reduce the heat; add the onions and garlic. Cook until soft but not brown, seasoning with salt and pepper. Add fines heres and cinnamon. Replace the meat in the pot. Cover and simmer for one and a half hours or bake in 325-degree oven. Turn the meat from time to time.

Remove the meat to a platter. Place the chicken legs in the pot, seasoning with salt, pepper, paprika, and cinnamon. Add the aprocots, placing the meat back in teh pot on top of them. Cook until the chicken is tender, turning from time to time to evenly brown the chicken. Be careful to keep the apricots from the bottom of the pan. Cook about one hour. Add water only irf the dish is in danger of burning. Add the carrots 30 minutes before serving. Place them in the bottom of the pot so they cook in the pan juices. Taste and correct the seasoning, adding lemon juice and brown sugar to taste. Generously serves six to eight.
