Chicken tagine with cinnamon, preserved lemon and olives
African 10 Mins Prep · 45 Mins Cook
- Mix together the cinnamon, ginger, cumin, paprika, saffron, pepper and a little sea salt in a large pot. Add the chicken thighs and mix well.
- Finely chop the onions, garlic and herbs. Add these to the pot along with the cinnamon sticks and water. Bring to a boil over a medium-high heat. Add the oil and butter. Cover the pan and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the chicken thighs are cooked and the broth is concentrated and reduced by about a quarter.
- Squeeze in the lemon juice. Halve the preserved lemons and add them to the pot along with olives. Simmer for a further 10 minutes. Adjust the seasoning, if necessary.
- Serve hot with Moroccan bread or couscous on the side.
