Why I Love This Recipe

Moroccan tagine (or tajine) is a slow-cooked stew named after the conical clay pot in which it's traditionally prepared. The dish can feature a variety of ingredients, typically combining savory and sweet flavors. The pot's design allows the steam to circulate inside, keeping the ingredients tender and flavorful.


Ingredients You'll Need

Meat (optional): Chicken, lamb, beef, or fish.
Vegetables: Potatoes, carrots, zucchini, tomatoes, onions, peas, or olives.
Legumes (optional): Chickpeas or lentils.
Dried fruit: Apricots, prunes, raisins, or dates for sweetness.
Nuts (optional): Almonds or pine nuts.


Directions

1 whole chicken (cut into pieces) or 4-6 chicken thighs
2 onions, finely chopped
2-3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 preserved lemon, quartered (or use fresh lemon if you don’t have preserved)
1/2 cup green or purple olives
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
A pinch of saffron threads (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup fresh cilantro and parsley, chopped (for garnish)
1/2 cup water or chicken broth
