Directions
Ginger Chicken With Chickpeas (Moroccan Tagine),I found this recipe in Paula Wolfert’s cookbook. After playing around with it a little, I came up with this version. Even if you don’t love chickpeas this recipe is worth trying. Add an extra hour to the cook time if you are not using a pressure cooker.,Made this tonight. I’m caring for my twin grandbabies and handicapped husband. I just didn’t have time to cook anything tonight that was long and drawn out….this was fast and so delicious!!! Thank you!,I made this recipe for a few people and it was a big hit. used my pressure cooker and the flavors were terrific. Make sure not to serve this with any powerful side dishes, the flavors of this are subtle. I followed the recipe rather closely but with the following adjustments: -I did not remove the skins of the chickpeas, maybe that was suggested to let the chickpeas absorb more flavor? But I didn’t want to do it and it still tasted great. -I browned the chicken before cooking it in the pressure cooker, which is usually recommended to help “lock in” the flavors. -I added some frozen spinach to the pot after pressure cooking – added to the recipe without overpowering the flavors and looked gorgeous.
