Chicken Or lamb tagine with lemon

A delicious hearty, spicy stew, a one pot dish too! This is a little time consuming to prep it’s so worth it though, I make a large batch so I freeze the extras!
There's really something fantastic about this dish and its depth of Moroccan spices without too much heat. The heady scent of cinnamon and cumin with the lemon is filling our home. Taking me back to our holidays in mesmerizing Marrakesh, I was taught this exact recipe by Jimmy! One of the representatives at the hotel, it’s exactly how they served it there, so it’s authentic.
It’s 2 degrees here in Derbyshire today with icy rain, this is the perfect dish to warm us up.
Tagine is a traditional clay pot used in Morocco for placing in an oven or fire pit. If you don't have one just use a solid casserole pot with a lid. You usually start off the dish by frying/browning the onions and meat. Once all the ingredients are added it can be placed into the oven to slowly cook, let all the flavours do their magic!
This is a perfect slow cooker dish too, simply place all the ingredients in and leave over night to cook on the low setting! If there is too much liquid simply pour the juices into a pan and simmer down!

Steps
- 1
Chop the onion, add heat to the tagine or casserole dish, pour in the oil and start to gently fry the onions.
- 2
- 3
Whilst they are softening prep the garlic, then add to the pot and stir.
- 4
Whilst the garlic and onions are browning, prep the carrots and potatoes, keep an eye that the onion mixture isn’t burning.
- 5
Once the onions have browned add the spices to heat through.
- 6
Then add the chicken and stir.
- 7
Next add in the carrots and potatoes in layers.
- 8
Pour in the stock add a good pinch of salt make sure everything is sitting in the stock.
- 9
Chop the lemon and add.
- 10
Add some olives and place on the lid, leave it on a low heat so it simmers away, it will take at least 1 hour 15 minutes to cook check the veggies are cooked through. (lamb will take 2 hours) My tagine doesn’t have a hole to release the steam so I place a palate knife under the lid so some of the steam releases!
- 11
Once cooked I pop it under the grill to give it some colour but this is totally optional! Serve and enjoy! Once it’s ready sprinkle with chopped herbs. It’s delicious with crusty bread or couscous!
