Moroccan Chicken Tagine

Ingredients:

Chicken marinade

Whole chicken

4 cloves of garlic, cut into very small pieces

Half a salted candied lemon

1 tablespoon of turmeric

1 tablespoon of ginger

1 teaspoon of black pepper

Salt as needed + ½ cup of water mixed with saffron threads

For the broth:

Half a kilo of chopped onions

Half a cup of olive oil

Turmeric + ginger + black pepper {½ teaspoon of each spice}

Moroccan ghee

A cup of hot water mixed with saffron threads or {saffron cubes}

A handful of parsley + salt

Method:

To prepare Moroccan Chicken with Olives, start by marinating the chicken with the marinade mixture mentioned above and leave it for an hour if possible.

In a pot on the stove, place the chopped onion, add the oil and sauté until browned and slightly translucent. Add the rest of the marinade and the chicken and sauté on all sides.

Pour the water over it, then add a handful of parsley, a little ghee and a handful of green olives.

Allow it to cook slowly, allowing the flaveurs to blend beautifully. Optional garnishes such as potatoes can enhance the dish. Cook the chicken until it is fully cooked and the sauce has thickened, then serve it garnished with pickled lemon peel for an authentic Moroccan experience. It can be served with French fries. Enjoy this rich and aromatic dish that reflects the vibrant culinary heritage of Morocco.

The Moroccan-style chicken tagine with olives was absolutely delicious! The flavors were rich and authentic, making it a delightful experience. Highly recommend trying it!
