Ingredients:

Serving

8 cups water
2 cardamom pods
1 (2 1/2-lb) chicken, skinned
1 large onion, halved
1 bay leaf
2 (10-oz) packages fresh spinach
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp ground coriander
3/4 tsp salt
10 garlic cloves, crushed
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 cups hot cooked rice

Directions:

Combine the first 5 ingredients in an 8-quart Dutch oven or stockpot, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, and cook, uncovered, for 1 hour. Remove from heat. Remove the chicken from the pan, and place in a bowl; cool. Strain the chicken broth through a cheesecloth-lined colander or fine sieve into a bowl, reserving onion; discard the remaining solids. Return the broth to the pan. Remove the chicken from the bones, discarding bones; shred the chicken into bite-size pieces. Keep warm.
Place onion in a bowl, and mash with a fork or potato masher. Add onion to broth; bring to a boil. Add spinach to broth in batches, cooking until wilted.
Heat the oil in a small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add coriander, salt, and garlic; sauté 30 seconds or until garlic begins to brown. Add to spinach mixture, and stir in lemon juice. Serve chicken and spinach mixture over rice.
