SLOW-COOKER CHICKPEA TAGINE



Slow-Cooker Chickpea Tagine image

While traveling through Morocco, my wife and I fell in love with the complex flavors of the many tagines we tried. Resist the urge to stir this dish too much, as it will break down the veggies. Add shredded cooked chicken in the last 10 minutes, or serve with grilled fish. -Raymond Wyatt, West St. Paul, Minnesota

CHICKEN AND CHICKPEA TAGINE



Chicken and Chickpea Tagine image

Like many dishes that rely on combinations of spices, a tagine, which is a slowly braised stew, may look more intimidating to cook than it is. Even with shortcuts, the results are exotic in flavor and appearance. My version of this tagine may not compare to those that begin with toasting and grinding spices and peeling grapes, but it is easily executed and, I think, divine. Some things to look out for: First, work with dark-meat chicken only and be aware that tagines are on the dry side, so don't add liquid to the sauce unless it is threatening to burn. Home-cooked chickpeas and fresh tomatoes are, of course, preferable to canned varieties, but in this dish the differences are not marked. Do, however, use a vanilla bean, not vanilla extract.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tablespoons corn or canola oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, peeled and thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt
Pinch nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Pinch cayenne
1 1/2 to 2 cups chopped tomatoes (canned are fine; drain excess liquid)
4 cups chickpeas (canned are fine; drain and rinse first)
1/2 cup raisins or chopped pitted dates
1/2 vanilla bean
8 chicken thighs, or 4 leg-thigh pieces, cut in two
Chopped cilantro or parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Put oil and butter in a large skillet or casserole, which can be covered later, and turn heat to medium high. When butter melts, add onion, and cook, stirring occasionally, until it softens, 5 to 10 minutes. Add garlic, a large pinch of salt and spices. Cook, stirring, for about 30 seconds. Add tomatoes, chickpeas, raisins and vanilla, and bring to a boil. (If mixture is very dry, add about 1/2 cup water.) Taste, and add salt as necessary.
  • Sprinkle chicken pieces with salt, and nestle them into sauce. Cover, and 5 minutes later adjust heat so mixture simmers steadily. Cook until chicken is very tender, 45 minutes to an hour. Taste, and adjust seasoning. Then garnish, and serve with couscous.

One-pan lamb tagine with chickpeas image

Make this lamb tagine a day or two ahead to really develop the flavours. It makes entertaining that little bit easier, as all you'll need to do is reheat it

Provided by Tom Kerridge

Categories     Dinner

Time 2h50m

Number Of Ingredients 18

1kg lamb neck fillet, cut into large chunks
3 tbsp ras el hanout
2 tbsp olive oil, plus an optional drizzle
2 onions, chopped
4 carrots, cut into large chunks
6 garlic cloves, finely chopped
thumb-sized piece of ginger, peeled and finely grated
2 tbsp rose harissa paste, plus 1 tsp to serve
½ preserved lemon, finely chopped, or a peeled strip of lemon zest
1 cinnamon stick
400g can chopped tomatoes
600ml chicken or lamb stock
2 x 400g cans chickpeas, drained but not rinsed
100g dried apricots, roughly chopped (optional)
150g natural yogurt
small bunch of coriander, roughly chopped
small handful of flaked almonds, toasted
cooked couscous

Steps:

  • Toss the lamb pieces with the ras el hanout and a large pinch of salt to coat. Will keep chilled for up to 4 hrs. Heat the oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Heat the oil in a large flameproof casserole over a medium heat and brown the lamb on all sides. (You will need to do this in batches.) Scoop onto a plate using a slotted spoon and set aside, then cook the onions and carrots in the pan for 10-12 mins until soft and golden, adding a drizzle more oil if the pan is dry. Add the garlic and ginger, and cook for 2 mins more, then stir in the 2 tbsp harissa and preserved lemon. Cook for another minute until the vegetables are coated in the mixture and sticky. Add the cinnamon, then tip in the tomatoes and bring to a simmer.
  • Cook for a few minutes more until reduced to a thick paste. Tip the lamb and its resting juices back into the pan and pour over the stock. Season and return to a simmer. Put the lid on the casserole and transfer to the oven to cook for 1 hr.
  • Stir in the chickpeas and apricots, if using, cover again and return to the oven for 1 hr until the lamb is tender. Season, then leave the tagine to stand for 10 mins. Will keep chilled for up to three days or frozen for three months. Leave to cool first. Defrost in the fridge overnight before reheating over a low heat until piping hot. Swirl the 1 tsp harissa through the yogurt, then scatter the tagine with the coriander and flaked almonds. Serve with the couscous and spiced yogurt on the side.
