Best Chicken Tagine
fromfood.comwww.food.com/amp/recipe/best-chicken-tagine-212534
This was inspired by a fantatstic chicken tagine from Melbourne's Meccah Bah. It has a lovely balance of spice and sweetness. I've customised it from other tagine receipes I've found - and I think this produces the best result. Modest .. maybe.. try for yourself!
Ingredients
Instructions
Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium heat.
Brown chicken and remove.
Add onion, garlic, and ginger to the pot. Cover and cook until onion is tender, stirring often, about 5 minutes.
Add paprika, turmeric, ground coriander, ground cumin, cayenne pepper and cinnamon and stir 1 minute to lightly 'toast' the spices.
Stir in 2 cups water, chickpeas, tomatoes with juices, honey and coriander roots. Bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer 10 minutes.
Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper; add to pot. Cover and simmer for about 50 minutes - or until the chicken is cooked and tender.
Add more water to cover the chicken if liquid has evaporated.
When the chicken is almost ready, begin to prepare the cous-cous as per packet instructions. Add the chicken stock powder to the cous cous. When the cous cous has absorbed the liquid, add the almonds and stir through.
If using drumsticks, remove the drumsticks and strip the meat from the bones. Return the meat back to the mixture and mix through.
Stir sesame seeds through.
Serve on a bed of cous cous, garnished with coriander leaves.
