Delicious Moroccan Chicken Tagine in 15 mins

Instructions:

1. In a large tagine or a heavy-bottomed pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
2. Add the chicken pieces and brown on all sides. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
3. In the same pot, add the onion and garlic and sauté until the onion is translucent.
4. Add the spices (ginger, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, and saffron) and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
5. Add the chicken back to the pot and stir to coat with the spices.
6. Add the water and bring to a simmer. Cover the pot and cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
7. Add the olives and salted lemons to the pot and stir gently.
8. Cook for an additional 10-15 minutes until the olives and lemons are heated through.
9. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
10. Serve the chicken tagine hot, garnished with chopped parsley and cilantro.

Note:

If you can’t find salted lemons, you can make your own by quartering lemons and packing them in salt in a jar for a few weeks.
