Today, I take you to the Mediterranean region. We go to Marocco for a chicken tajine. Mine didn’t stew in one because I don’t have any but I you have one then just go for it ;). It’s a delicious dish, especially with its lemon touch, which give you a flavoured meat that melts in your mouth.
Ingredients (for 4 persons)
4 chicken thighs
1 teaspoon of ground ginger
1 teaspoon of curcuma
1 onion
2 preserved lemons
12 olives
1 lemon
For the marinade
1 tablespoon of oil
Chopped parsley
Fresh chopped coriander
1 teaspoon of Espelette pepper
1 teaspoon of cumin
Before starting, add the chicken to the fresh prepared marinade and put it away in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
Put the chicken, onion, olives, salt, pepper, curcuma and the lemon (cut into 4 parts) with a glass of water into a large pan (or tajine) and cook for 20-30 minutes. Then take the cover off and have it simmer a bit to get a creamy sauce.
Add some peels of the preserved lemons just to heat them a bit.
Arrange the chicken on the place and spread the olives and lemon peels around.
Thank you Afternoon Tea for this great receipe!
