Chicken Tajine[Moroccan Chicken stew]
Posted on January 1, 2008 - Filed Under Recipes
Ingredients
1 chicken in pieces
2 large onions [sliced thinly in crescent shape.]
½ t ginger
1 t of pepper
½ packet of saffron for color [you can use turmeric if you like]
¾ cup of oil
2 large garlic cloves
1 small bunch of parsley [and or cilantro if you want]
1 t of salt
1 tomato
2 ½ cups of water
Mash garlic, parsley and salt together so they make a paste then put in a pot with chicken, onions, pepper, saffron, oil with the tomato grated ant water.
Boil vigorously until chicken is tender and the sauce is rich. Adjust salt according to taste. The onions almost disappear and the sauce thickens.
If you use more chicken you may have to take it out of the pot to let the sauce thicken more and avoid it coming of the bone. Keep enough so you can dip.
When you are finished pour into a tajine dish if you don’t have one then put in a high sided plate or just give each person a bowl full. You eat it with khubz a type of round bread and enjoy. If you would like to make it with French fries on top just make or buy some and put on top of the chicken.
