Description
Tagines are used in the Middle East and Africa for slow-cooked meals of meat and vegetables. In this recipe chicken is cooked with preserved lemon, olives, and a variety of herbs and spices. All these flavors cook together gently and slowly, developing into a fragrant and flavor-packed meal. A sprinkle of fresh cilantro is the perfect finishing touch. A bed of grain or a pile of roasted vegetables are great accompaniments to make this a filling and complete meal.
