CHICKEN TAGINE WITH OLIVES AND PRESERVED LEMONS



Chicken Tagine With Olives and Preserved Lemons image

This rich and fragrant chicken stew is laden with complex flavors and spices reminiscent of the sort you might encounter in a mountainside cafe in Morocco. Save yourself the cost of a plane ticket, however, and make this at home. First, rub the chicken with a redolent combination of garlic, saffron, ground ginger, paprika, cumin, turmeric and black pepper, then pop it into the refrigerator for 3 to 4 hours to marinate. Once that's done, brown the chicken parts, and remove from the pan, making room for a pile of sliced onions that you'll sauté until golden brown. Nestle a cinnamon stick into the tangle of onions, pile the chicken parts on top and scatter with slices of preserved lemons and olives, a combination of green and kalamata. Add a bit of chicken stock and lemon juice, then cook over low heat until the chicken is cooked through, and your house smells amazing.

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     African     North African     Moroccan

Time 4h57m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

¼ cup olive oil, or to taste
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 large chicken thighs
2 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed
1 white onion, chopped
2 cups water, or as needed
16 saffron threads
½ preserved lemon, pulp discarded and thinly sliced
¼ cup olives, or to taste
2 artichoke bottoms, chopped
¼ cup coarsely chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Whisk 1/4 cup olive oil, garlic, turmeric, cumin seeds, salt, and pepper together in a bowl and pour into a resealable plastic bag or container. Add chicken, coat with the paste and seal bag or container. Marinate in the refrigerator, 4 hours to overnight.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook and stir until soft and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove chicken from marinade, discarding marinade. Add chicken thighs skin-side down to stockpot and cook until browned, about 4 minutes. Flip chicken thighs and cook until browned on second side, about 3 minutes more.

Replace cover and cook until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and juices run clear, about 5 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Uncover stockpot and transfer chicken to a serving platter.
  • Continue simmering liquid in stockpot until thickened to sauce consistency, 5 to 7 minutes. Spoon sauce over chicken; top with olives, artichokes, and parsley.

MOROCCAN LEMON CHICKEN W/SUMMER SQUASH & GR. OLIVES (SBD P1)



Moroccan Lemon Chicken W/Summer Squash & Gr. Olives (Sbd P1) image

From most recent book. Haven't tried. While the ingredient list for this recipe may seem long, it largely features common pantry spices. When combined, these spices make up a version of ras-al-hanut, an intriguing blend that is widely used on Moroccan style meats and fished. If you prefer, look for prepared ras al-hanut or another Moroccan blend in the spice section of your supermarket. Mixed with a little extra virgin olive oil, these spices make a wet rub that blackens while cooking, giving the chicken a nice, exotic taste.
