Chicken Tagine
Chicken tagine
Chicken tagine is a delicious Moroccan dish that typically consists of chicken pieces cooked with a variety of flavorful ingredients, such as preserved lemons, olives, spices like cumin and cinnamon, and sometimes dried fruits like apricots or dates. It is usually cooked in a tagine pot, which is a traditional North African clay cooking vessel that has a cone-shaped lid. The slow cooking process allows all the flavors to meld together, resulting in a tender and aromatic dish.
Ingredients
- 8 chicken thighs bone-in and skin-on
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup olives pitted
- 1/4 cup preserved lemon sliced
- 1/4 cup dried apricots chopped
- 1/4 cup almonds toasted
- Fresh cilantro chopped (for garnish)
- Olive oil
- 1 cup chicken broth
Instructions
- In a large tagine pot or Dutch oven, heat some olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken thighs on both sides until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the chopped onion and garlic. Cook until softened.
- Add the ground cumin, cinnamon, ginger, paprika, turmeric, coriander, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine and cook for a minute until fragrant.
- Return the chicken thighs to the pot. Add the olives, preserved lemon, dried apricots, and toasted almonds.
- Pour in the chicken broth, bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for about 45-60 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro before serving.
