In this video, we show you how to make a Moroccan Chicken Tagine with Preserved Lemons and Olives. This Tagine Chicken Recipe with Apricots is absolutely delicious and brings back the amazing flavours that we experienced in Morocco. Tagine is the name of the Moroccan Clay Pot with a cone-shaped lid that is used to traditionally cook all types of food in Morocco. We often ate this Moroccan Chicken Tagine with preserved Lemons and Olives during our trips to Marakesh and it is one of the most common flavour combinations in that part of the world. We tried to recreate the same Tagine Chicken Recipe that we enjoyed in Morocco with Apricots and we must admit that it tasted almost identical to what we ate there.
To make the Moroccan Chicken marinade, you will need:
2 small preserved lemons (use the flesh first and save the peel for the end)
1 baby chicken (cut into small pieces)
1/2 tsp cumin powder
1/2 tsp ginger powder
1 tsp coriander powder
1/2 tsp black pepper
salt to taste (the preserved lemons can be salty too, so add salt accordingly)
2 grated garlic cloves
2 tsp paprika
1/8 tsp turmeric powder
1/2 cup finely chopped coriander
1/2 cup finely chopped parsley
2 tbs olive oil
saffron soaked in hot water then 2-3 tsp saffron water
To prepare the onions for the tagine:
1-2 tbs olive oil
1 large onion (grated and sliced)
salt
1/2 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
2-3 tsp saffron water
6-8 dried apricots (halved)
Handful green olives
fresh lemon juice
lemon rind from the preserved lemons
Cook on a medium flame for 15-20 minutes, then reduce heat to low and cook for at least 1 hour until the chicken is tender and cooked. Always use a heat diffuser or a heavy pan to sit the Tagine on when cooking (to prevent any damage).
We served the Moroccan Chicken Tagine with roasted potatoes, mushrooms and cauliflower, and a side of homemade cinnamon and orange cranberry sauce. Traditionally Chicken Tagines are served with couscous, vegetables or even crusty bread.
Moroccan cuisines is packed full of flavour, especially when the food is slow-cooked in the Tagine. It is also healthy too as very little oil is used and lots of fresh produce is consumed.
We hope you have seen how easy it is to prepare this delicious Moroccan Chicken Tagine with Preserved Lemons and Olives (as well as apricots), and we hope you can put your tagine to use with this amazing recipe. If you do not have a tagine then you can apply the same ingredients and cook it in a pot on the stove (like a casserole pot) or even bake it in the oven (adjust cooking times accordingly).
