I've had a tagine for around 3 years and finally got round to using it recently as a way to support my better half in her low carb diet. This recipe was so tasty I made it again 2 days later.
Preparation
dice the onion and celery- Peel and slightly
crush the garlic - Grate or finely
chop the ginger - Cut the lemons into 8 pieces (half them in each of the 3 dimensions)
- Cut the chicken into approx 3cm cubes and season with a little salt and pepper
- Put the other half of the oil in the tagine and gently fry the onions
- Put half the olive oil into a pan and brown the chicken, around 5 mins
- Add all of the other ingredients except the mint and water, stir together, and cook for around 5 minutes
- Add the mint and water and stir in
- Add the browned chicken to the tagine, turn the heat down to low, put the lid on the tagine and cook for around 45 minutes to 2 hours
Ingredients
- 1 Kg chicken breasts
- Pinch salt
- Pinch ground black pepper
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 350 ml water
- 1 chicken stock cube
- 3 tbsp harissa paste
- 1 tbsp ground cumin
- 2 large whole lemons
- 8 cloves garlic
- 1 stick celery
- 1 large red onion
- 150g olives
- 1 thumb fresh ginger
- 40g mint leaves
Equipment
- Tagine
- Chopping board
- Knife
- Heat diffuser
Notes
If possible use olives in oil not brine. If the olives have been in brine then rinse them well to avoid the tagine ending up too salty.
