Steps

60 mins

1

Water the clay pot if needed (use a traditional tajine pot that fits in your oven or a similar suitable clay pot with a cover, even a covered glassware pot might do). Preheat oven to 175C.
2

Gently roast the chicken pieces in the frying oil. Put them in the clay pot, leave the oil in the pan.
3

Gently roast the onions, red peppers, garlic, ginger and potatoes in the pan.
4

Add tomatoes, curry, cumin, honey, vegetable broth, almonds, raisins and saffron, let simmer for a few minutes. Taste and add salt or pepper if needed. The chicken is unsalted so far, so the vegetable mixture can be just a little bit salty.
5

Pour the vegetable mixture over the chicken, sprinkle with the olive oil. Cover the clay pot.
6

Bake in the oven for about 45 minutes or until the chicken pieces and the potatoes are done. Serve with rice or pita bread.
