    Tagine of Chicken, Preserved Lemon, & Olives, Iv’e been craving this since going to DC to meet others from zaar We went to a place called the taste of Morocco I found this recipe on line Serve chicken, covered with sauce, over Couscous or Rice Have Green Tea with Mint with or after the meal This Tagine — the word, also spelled Tajine, refers both to the cooking pot as well as a stew cooked in it — is one of dozens of classic tagines prepared in Northern Africa, especially Morocco The tagine consists of two parts: a round pot (traditionally clay), and a conical cover with a small hole which allows some steam to escape A large dutch oven or something similar can also be used Check out the right place for Tagines : www tagines com congocookbook com/c0096 html, Im not a confident cook and did find the instructions a bit confusing, I fried everything in a frying pan then transferred to a large cooking pot and put in oven for half hour, used every ingredient that was suggested and OMG it was THE tastiest thing Ive ever eaten!, Chicken tagine is one of my favorite dishes, and this is a great recipe for it! I really appreciate the flexibility of the spices used two fresh meyer lemons instead of preserved lemons, and I was out of chicken stock, so used water and some white wine and let the sauce simmer down at little at the end of cooking Delicious over rice!
