Moroccan chicken tagine
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Start by preparing the ingredients: Finely chop the pulp of the preserved lemon, and the parsley.
- 2
In a large bowl separate the chicken pieces and combine: the chopped parsley, chopped preserved lemon pulp, ginger, cumin, pepper, turmeric, saffron and olive oil.
- 3
Mix very well the ingredients and make sure that every piece of the chicken is well immersed into the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for around an hour.
- 4
In a medium-large pot, drizzle the olive oil and add the pealed and grated onions, with a little bit of salt and ginger.
- 5
When the onions become soft and transparent, add the chicken with its marinade.
- 6
On low-medium heat, cover the pot and cook for around 15-20.
- 7
When the chicken and the onion both release their juices, add the water and reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot, and let the chicken cook for an hour or so.
- 8
When the chicken has become tender, add the lemon juice, the olives, the chicken liver and the potatoes, and let everything cook uncovered until the sauce thickens.
- 9
Serve when hot, and if you want to eat the Moroccan way, serve with French bread, and eat with your hands.

Moroccan Vegetable Tagine Moroccan Vegetable Tagine
#nonindian - This is a signature dish of Morocco which is prepared in a special pan called the Tagine. Hence the name "Vegetable Tagine". It is very easy to cook. Healthy and nutritious, it is also hassle free, as you just need to arrange all the veggies in the tagine, drizzle some spices mixed with olive oil and cook, covered, on a low flame. It is that simple. No stirring required. So it is very good for the elderly and during pregnancy as it is slow cooked in steam. The veggies are cooked in steam and it can be relished with some plain steamed rice or paratha/ naan/chapatti for the Indian palate. But traditionally it is relished with some couscous. You can go ahead and add any veggies available and you will have a sumptuous and a delicious treat in front of you. So if you are able to get a Tagine, go ahead and give it a try.

Moroccan Lamb Tagine Moroccan Lamb Tagine
#nonindian - This is a classic Moroccan Dish where marinated lamb is slow cooked to perfection in a Tagine pot. This is my version of this popular cuisine, where I gave an Indian touch by adding some crushed kasuri methi and yoghurt. Rest of the spices used are very much a part of Moroccan cuisine. This is a yummy dish with a subtle flavour of the rose water, which can be substituted with saffron. There is a crunch to every bite with the presence of the dry fruits. Some sliced veggies like carrots and potatoes along with dates, prunes and apricots too, can be added. It is traditionally relished with couscous, but for the Indian palate rice or any Indian bread is perfectly fine. -
Moroccan Chicken Stew Moroccan Chicken Stew
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.

Decided I will try this recipe next. It uses a cast iron pan so I will use my tagine, turn the heat low and let it simmer until dinner time. I think it was tasty but not spicy enough for me. -
