Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 kg chicken thighs skin removed, cut into 3 cm strips
  • 2 brown onions thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin or cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 3 cups chicken stock
  • 1/2 cauliflower chopped into florets
  • 2 zucchini sliced
  • flaked or slivered almonds toasted, optional
  • parsley leaves chopped, optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  • Place a large ovenproof saucepan or pot over high heat. Add half the olive oil and heat for 30 seconds. Add the chicken pieces in batches and brown them on each side for 2–3 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  • To the same pot, add the remaining olive oil and the onion and cook, stirring, for 2–4 minutes. Add the garlic and stir for 1–2 minutes. Add all the spices and cook, stirring, for 2–3 minutes. Place the chicken pieces back into the pot, then add the stock. Cover with the lid and bake for 1.5 hours.
  • Remove the lid and stir through the cauliflower and zucchini. Place the pot back in the oven for another 30 minutes or until the vegetables are soft and cooked through. If too much liquid evaporates, just add a little more stock when you add the veggies. Serve topped with parsley and toasted almonds, if you like.
  • Serving suggestion: I LOVE tagine with couscous. So I make 2 cups of wholemeal couscous. When it’s ready, add a drizzle of olive oil and 1/4 cup of currants, then season well.
