PRESERVED LEMON CHICKEN TAGINE FOR THE TAGINE!

Steps:

• Put the olive oil in the bottom of the tagine and gently colour the onion and minced garlic. Add the chicken pieces and seal well.
• In a large jug mix 1/2 pint of boiling water with 1 chicken cube and set aside.
• To the tagine add the ginger, ras el hanout, saffron, tomato puree and honey. Mix well.

• Cook on a low heat for 2 hours. Remove the lid and add preserved lemon - rinse lemon well under cold tap. Remove and discard half of the flesh and finely slice the remaining flesh and peel. Add this to the tagine before replacing the lid and cook for a further 30 - 45 minutes or until the sauce is thick and well flavoured and chicken is ready to fall apart!
• (Add a little stock or water to the sauce if it seems a little dry or too thick. Cook a little longer of not thick enough or the chicken is not at falling point.).
• Finally serve in the tagine base dish with fresh coriander sprinkle dover the top. Serve with fresh baked bread or steamed cous cous.

CHICKEN TAGINE WITH OLIVES AND PRESERVED LEMONS

Steps:

• First rub the rock salt into the chicken pieces and then wash the chicken in the white wine vinegar and water. Leave for 10 minutes. Rinse and dry and place onto a clean plate.
• In a large bowl, mix the olive oil, coriander, cinnamon, saffron, fine salt, 1/2 the onions, garlic, cumin, ginger, paprika, turmeric. Mix all these ingredients into the oil and crush the garlic and add a little water to make a paste.
• Roll the chicken pieces into the marinade and leave for 10 to 15 minutes.
• For cooking, use a tagine (traditional Moroccan dish) or a deep, heavy bottom casserole dish. Heat the dish up and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the hot dish. Drop in the chicken and pour over the excess marinade juices. Add the remaining onions, gizzards, chicken livers, olives, and chopped preserved lemons (no pulp).
• Cook in medium hot oven (350 degrees F) for 45 minutes.
• Serve with fresh bread.

CHICKEN TAGINE WITH PRESERVED LEMON AND OLIVES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine 1/4 cup olive oil, the coriander, cumin, paprika, cinnamon, saffron, cloves, ginger and red pepper flakes. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper and place in the marinade. Stir until the marinade covers each piece. Refrigerate for 2 hours and up to overnight.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry; reserve the marinade. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a tagine or a large Dutch oven. Place the chicken skin-side down in the pot and brown for 4 to 5 minutes. Turn and brown an additional 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the chicken and reserve on a plate.
• Add the onions and garlic to the same pot and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken stock, green olives, lemon peel, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper and the reserved chicken and marinade. Bring to a low boil and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook 45 minutes.
• Stir in the cilantro, parsley and lemon juice. Serve with couscous if desired.

CHICKEN & PRESERVED LEMON TAGINE

Steps:

• Sauté the diced onions and garlic in the pot on low heat just to sweat the onions. While doing so, pan fry the chicken legs in a separate pan just to get a golden brown on both sides.
• Add the cumin, ginger and turmeric to the onions and garlic.
• Place the chicken legs side by side into the pot with the onions and add a light chicken broth (unsalted) just enough but not covering the chicken. Add the sliced preserved lemon and green olives. The lemon is sour and salty so there is no need to add any salt to this dish.
• Let the broth reduce, add the harissa and stir. Turn the chicken over and spoon the sauce over the meat.
• When the chicken is cooked, garnish with chopped coriander, dried whole chilis and sliced preserved lemon.
• Serve this dish along with fluffy cous cous :).

CHICKEN TAGINE WITH OLIVES, FIGS, AND PRESERVED LEMONS

Steps:

• Season chicken with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper.
• Heat remaining oil in a tagine over medium heat. Sear chicken in the hot oil until browned, 5 to 7 minutes; remove and set aside. Add onion, coriander, cumin, and bay leaf and cook, stirring constantly, for 10 minutes. Make sure to scrape the brown bits from the bottom while stirring; add a little water if needed.
• Stir tomatoes, figs, olives, garlic, and lemons into the tagine. Cook for an additional 5 minutes. Add the seared chicken and pour in white wine. Bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Reduce the wine by half, 10 to 15 minutes. Pour in enough chicken broth to fill the tagine only halfway up the sides of the chicken.
• Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low and cover. Cook until the meat on the legs is no longer pink and pulls away from the bone, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove the tagine from the heat and mix in parsley. Check seasonings and serve.
