Moroccan Tagine – Chicken With Preserved Lemons

1.0

3-4 pounds of chicken thighs and legs. If you prefer you can use chicken breast, but it isn’t the real thing

1 red onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon ginger, grated

1 preserved lemon. Separate pulp from rind. Cut rind into thin strips.

½ cup dates, pitted

1 cup green olives, pitted (optional)

¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

¼ cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped

½ a lime, juiced

2 teaspoons paprika

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon turmeric

½ teaspoon cinnamon

¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper

1 teaspoon powdered saffron and a pinch of saffron threads (if you have it)

4 Tbsp olive oil

Salt to taste (more if you use fresh lemons)

¼-½ cup water*

Prepare all the ingredients that need to be chopped in advance.
In the bottom of your tagine, place your chicken first. Top this with onion, garlic, ginger, and lemon pulp (save rinds for later). If you are using fresh lemon add all the thin slices now.
Continue to pile on all the ingredients and spices listed and finish off with a healthy douse of olive oil, making sure to cover all the ingredients.
Add salt to taste but be warned – if you are using preserved lemons only a pinch will do as they are already very salty. If you’re using fresh lemons go for a teaspoon or more.
Cover your tagine with the lid and cook over medium heat on the stove. If you do not have a tagine, you can use a thick-bottomed, large skillet with a cover.
*If using a skillet, add ½ cup water to your chicken halfway through cooking. If using a tagine just add ¼ cup. Prop the lid open just slightly and let it simmer.
With 10 minutes left to go, scatter lemon rinds to your dish. Cover and allow it to continue cooking until done, approximately one hour.
Serve hot over couscous, rice or quinoa.
