My take on a tagine.

A one pot meal filled with great and interesting flavors. It’s not thick like a beef stew or gumbo, so it can be served up on a large platter for entertaining dinner guests. I like using whole chicken thighs; it’s cheaper, and produces a juicier taste.

The original recipe calls for couscous instead of rice but I was currently out. Either way is delicious!

I got a tagine for Xmas. Wanted one since my mom had one and I loved what she cooked with it. This is the first recipe I used. Liked it.

We have a huge lemon tree which provides a bounty of lemons every year. We preserve the lemons in salt and spices the Moroccan way. This chicken dish uses these Moroccan lemons as the key ingredient. Overall the dish turned out to be too sour for our taste so go easy on olives and lemons next time. If you don’t have pickled lemons, just use lemon rind and juice.

I have done this two ways. The pan makes it so juicy and flavorful. But I recently received one of those ceramic chicken Roaster gadgets to cook your chicken in. I found it very moist doing this method and easier clean up but, my favourite still remains the pan. If you have one of the ceramic beer chicken roasters you can cook your chicken at the temperature of 325 degree Fahrenheit for about one and a half hours (95 minutes) and it turns out pretty darn good. I should warn you I like to experiment and added an extra pre bought spice mix but really, it tastes pretty good without the extra spice mix. My cats always do the happy dance when I cook chicken but try to limit them because feeding them a bit, may not hurt but, cats do not hunt chicken in the wild with spices in it…

A yummy slow cooker recipe that is so easy - your family will think you spent hours in the kitchen. Easily increased to feed more people & feel free to use other cuts of chicken or try turkey!

This recipe is a heavily Moroccan influenced dish. I added the juices of the preserved lemon instead of water. I also added honey and Cucumber. The rest is Moroccan.

All the layered smokey flavors and cumin make this dish outstanding!

#nonindian - This is an incredibly simple, comforting and a wholesome soup - Moroccan style, that can be dished out for a light hearty meal. It is very filling and you just don't need anything else. Well, you may pair it with some croutons or breadsticks. Rice may be substituted by couscous if you wish. Chicken too can be replaced with boneless mutton beef or pork if preferred. This piping hot soup is just perfect for a wintry night.
