Time 1h45m

Yield 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 21

paprika, to sprinkle on the potatoes
2 small potatoes, peeled & cut into strips
3 -4 white fish fillets, boneless (I used tilapia fillets)
1 (8 ounce) can low-sodium tomato sauce or 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup water
1 roma tomato, chopped
1/2 small onion, cut into thin strips
1/2 teaspoon ras el hanout spice mix (Ras El Hanout - Moroccan Spice Mix)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/3 cup green olives, cracked (pitted, preferably)
1/2 preserved lemon, sliced with the flesh (Moroccan Spiced Preserved Lemons)
1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
3 medium garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon vinegar
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Peel the potatoes & cut them into strips, about the size of a large french fry. Put them into a bowl & rinse. Then sprinkle paprika over the potatoes, turning them several times to make sure they are all covered.
  • Place the tomato sauce, olive oil, water, tomato, onions, & spices in a medium or large tagine. Stir to mix all the ingredients, then lay the potatoes on top of the sauce. Cover & cook on low heat for 30 minutes.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, mix the ingredients of the charmoula in a small bowl. Place the fillets into a shallow bowl or dish, pour half the mixture over top of the fish & let it marinate for 30 minutes.
  • Boil the olives in a small sauce pan of water for 5 minutes to remove their bitterness. Once done, drain the water & stir the rest of the charmoula in with the olives, set aside to be used later.
  • Stir the sauce in the tagine then place the fish fillets on top of the potatoes. Scatter the lemon & olives on the fish & pour all the remaining charmoula over the fish.
  • Cover the tagine & continue to cook on low heat for another hour. The tagine is done once the potatoes are tender.
  • Serve in the tagine with thick bread to scoop up the sauce & fish. Make sure you protect your table because the tagine will stay hot for a time.

MOROCCAN CHICKEN TAGINE WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATOES AND ARTICHOKES



Moroccan Chicken Tagine With Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Artichokes image

I dated a guy from Morocco and he cooked this for me often. Didn't work out, but I still love the recipe none the less. I hope you enjoy! You can buy "Tagine" spices in specialty food stores. These are from Morocco and I suggest that you have them on hand as they go great with lots of other meats, especially lamb. You can use the "Tagine" spice mixture (approx. 1 1/2-2 T and just add the saffron or you can use the spices below as noted to create your own "Tagine" spice mixture.

MOROCCAN CHICKEN TAGINE WITH OLIVES AND PRESERVED LEMONS RECIPE - (4.7/5)



Moroccan Chicken Tagine with Olives and Preserved Lemons Recipe - (4.7/5) image

Provided by Mom_s

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 pinch saffron
salt and pepper to taste
1 whole chicken (cut into 8 pieces, or chicken thighs or breasts)
1 tablespoon oil
1 onion (sliced)
2 cloves garlic (chopped)
1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
1/2 cup water (or chicken stock)
1 preserved lemon (pith removed, and peel rinsed and sliced)
1 cup olives
1 tablespoon harissa
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 cup parsley (chopped)
1/4 cup cilantro (chopped)

Steps:

  • 1. Mix the paprika, cayenne pepper, cumin, turmeric, cinnamon, saffron, salt and pepper and rub it into the chicken. 2. Heat the oil in a large pan over medium-high heat add the chicken and brown on all sides and set aside. 3. Add the onion, and saute for 3 minutes. 4. Add the garlic and ginger and saute until fragrant, about a minute. 5. Add the water, chicken, preserved lemon, olives, harissa and honey, cover and simmer for 30 minutes. 6. Remove from heat and mix in the parsley and cilantro. Slow Cooker: Optionally implement steps 1-4, place everything except the parsley and cilantro in the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-10 hours or high for 2-4 hours before adding the parsley and cilantro and turning off the heat. Note: You will probably want to go easy on the salt as the lemons are preserved in a lot of salt and the olives are pretty salty as well.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tagine. A traditional tagine is made of clay or ceramic and has a conical lid. The lid helps to circulate the steam, which evenly cooks the food. If you don't have a tagine, you can use a Dutch oven or a slow cooker.
  • Brown the meat before adding it to the tagine. This will help to develop flavor and prevent the meat from becoming tough.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor and texture to the tagine. Some good choices include carrots, potatoes, onions, and tomatoes.
  • Add spices and herbs to taste. Common spices used in Moroccan tagines include cumin, coriander, paprika, and turmeric. Fresh herbs such as cilantro, parsley, and mint can also be added.
  • Cook the tagine over low heat. This will help to prevent the food from burning and allow the flavors to develop.
  • Serve the tagine with bread or couscous. This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.

Conclusion:

Moroccan tagine with olives and artichoke hearts is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The combination of tender chicken, savory vegetables, and tangy olives and artichoke hearts is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new recipe to try, give this Moroccan tagine a try. You won't be disappointed!
