Directions
Chicken, Olive and Lemon Tangine, This is another find from the Weekly Times, a paper I love, and also another wonderful recipe from Jeremy Vincent I am noting some of Jeremy’s suggestions and Tips as written– If you haven’t got a tagine, a saucepan or lidded casserole will suffice The recipe method below utilises a saucepan or casserole for the cooking If you are using a tagine, prepare the chicken to the browned stage in the saucepan, remove it from the saucepan and cook the onion and spice as below Instead of returning the ingredients back to the saucepan with the stock, arrange (optional) sliced potato on the base of your tagine, then the chicken around the centre on top of the potato slices Pour the onion and spiced stock over the chicken, scatter with the olives and dot with the butter and pieces of lemon before topping with the tagine lid and baking Save the coriander and parsley for scattering on top when the dish is cooked TIPS WITH A TAGINE The tagine doubles as both a cooking vessel and serving dish which holds the food warm Since you won’t be stirring during the cooking, take care how you arrange or layer ingredients for a beautiful table presentation Oil is essential to tagine cooking; don’t be overly cautious in using it or you’ll end up with watery sauce or possibly scorched ingredients In most recipes for 4 to 6 people, you’ll need between a 1/4 to a 1/3 cup of oil (sometimes part butter), which will mix with cooking liquids to make ample sauce for scooping up with bread Choose olive oil for the best flavour Try not to interrupt the cooking by frequently lifting the lid to check on the food; that’s best left for adding ingredients or to check on the level of liquids toward the end of cooking , This was a good tagine, but I was not overwhelmed The rest of the family loved it, in spite of my reservations in serving it because they are not all that adventurous in their food choices So for that reason I will rate it a five Served this with Recipe#170334, but in the future will serve with something more mellow, like white rice – as I thought it was too much lemon Oh, and used yummy homemade Recipe#438353 Thanks for posting!
