Chicken Tagine with Lemons and Olives
The traditional version of this classic Moroccan stew is made with olives, homemade preserved lemons and involves a long cooking time. We've simplified the recipe by using lemon rind and juice to achieve the same subtle lemon flavor. Ours is also slow-simmered to yield a rich broth like the original's, but it's made in a fraction of the time. Since Chicken Tagine is so saucy, it's best served over couscous.
Yield:
4 servings (serving size: 1 chicken piece and 1/3 cup sauce)
