Number Of Ingredients 17

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 chicken (about 3 pounds), cut into 10 pieces
1 tablespoon ground ginger
2 teaspoons ground turmeric
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon saffron threads
1 large onion, chopped
2 tablespoons minced garlic
3 cups homemade or store-bought low-sodium chicken stock
2 tablespoons finely diced preserved lemon
1 cup pitted black Kalamata olives
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
Cranberry-Curry Couscous
1/4 cup loosely packed cilantro leaves, finely chopped, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a Dutch-oven or large skillet with a tight-fitting lid, heat oil and butter over high heat. Add chicken and cook on all sides, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low and add ginger, turmeric, allspice, cayenne, cumin, and saffron; cook, stirring constantly, for 30 seconds. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes.
  • Return chicken to skillet. Add stock and preserved lemon; stir to combine. Cover and cook over medium-low heat until chicken is cooked through, about 30 minutes.
  • Remove skillet from heat and add olives; season with salt and pepper and stir to combine. Cover and let stand 5 minutes. Serve immediately over couscous garnished with cilantro.
