Sesame Garlic Marinade Recipes
My grandmother was from the Middle East and my mother prepared great dishes from that area. I have incorporated some of these dishes into my recipes, using my various products.
Syrian Sesame Garlic Chicken Stew

- 4 cups Radich’s Sesame Garlic Marinade
- 15 bone-in chicken thighs (about 4 pounds)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 2 cups chopped white onions
- 4 cloves minced garlic
- 2 jalapeno chilies, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, peeled and minced
- 1 cup pitted green olives sliced
- 1 cup black pitted olives whole
- 1 1/2 pounds of boiling potatoes peeled and cubed, ( 5 cups)
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons ground turmeric
- 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice or lime juice
Steps
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Sprinkle chicken with garlic salt and pepper. Heat oil in oven-proof pot over medium heat until hot. Add chicken and cook for 5 minutes or browned on all sides. Remove chicken.
- Add onions, garlic, chilies, ginger and cook until golden brown or to a translucent stage. Add Radich�s Sesame Garlic Marinade and bring to a boil. Add chicken and all other ingredient, except cilantro. Bring to a boil.
- Cover and bake 45-50 minutes or until chicken is very tender and no longer pink. Thicker sauce can be achieved by adding a cornstarch mixture or cooking longer over high heat. Not both.
- Remove and serve with fresh cilantro on stew
- Use fresh crusted bread with garlic butter. Melons are great as a salad or dessert.
