Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 cloves garlic, peeled and finely chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 tablespoon kosher or sea salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 large Spanish onion, grated (about 1 cup)
2 tablespoons canola, grapeseed or olive oil (not a heavy olive oil)
1 to 2 preserved lemons, depending on size
8 chicken thighs, with bone and skin
Stems from the parsley and cilantro, tied with twine
1/4 teaspoon powdered saffron or 1/4 teaspoon powdered turmeric and 4 strands saffron
1 cup pitted green Moroccan or Greek olives
1/2 bunch Italian parsley, about 1/4 cup chopped
1/2 bunch cilantro, about 1/4 cup chopped

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix the garlic, cumin, ginger, paprika, salt and pepper, 1/2 cup grated onion, and the oil.
  • Rinse the preserved lemons, and remove the pulp. RESERVE the lemon peel for later use.
  • Add the lemon pulp to the mixing bowl. Add the chicken. Mix everything together and place in a large plastic bag to marinate overnight in the refrigerator. (Twenty-four hours really gives the chicken the best flavor.)
  • In a large Dutch oven or casserole, place the chicken and marinade; add the stems of the parsley and cilantro, the rest of the grated onion, the powdered saffron and 1 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil over high heat, turn down to a simmer and cook, partially covered, for 30 minutes.
  • Remove the cover, stir the chicken and continue to simmer for another 15 minutes or until the chicken is tender.
  • Remove the chicken to a serving dish and cover with foil to keep warm. Keep sauce on stove and begin to reduce.
  • Slice the preserved lemon peel into thin slices and add to the sauce along with the olives, parsley and cilantro. Reduce until the sauce is just a little thick. This shouldn't take more than 5 minutes at most.
  • Uncover the chicken and remove the skin from the chicken. (It doesn't look pretty and who needs the extra fat.) Pour sauce over chicken and serve.

TAJINE MALSOUKA -- TUNISIAN CHICKEN 'TAGINE' PHYLLO PIE



Tajine Malsouka -- Tunisian Chicken 'tagine' Phyllo Pie image

When most people think of a tagine, they think of a thick, saucy, often fruity dish. In Tunisia though, that couldn't be further from the truth. This Tunisian masterpiece is a lot of work but is perfect for dinner parties & special occasions. It is a little like Moroccan Pastilla but without all the icing sugar! For greatest effect, serve this warm on a rimless cake stand!

Time 2h15m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 kg chicken thigh (on the bone with skin)
3 medium brown onions, peeled & diced
1 -2 teaspoon crushed saffron threads mixed with a little water (or 1/2 tsp fresh ground nutmeg)
200 -250 ml water
12 large rounds phyllo pastry (10-inchx12-incheach in diameter)
100 g gruyere cheese, grated (or other hard cheese)
4 large eggs, beaten
salt & ground black pepper
250 g ricotta cheese, thinly sliced
2 egg yolks mixed with 1-2 tsp vegetable oil to glaze
vegetable oil, for frying & for brushing the pastry layers & dish

Steps:

  • In a frying pan, fry the onion in a little of the vegetable oil for a few minutes until it is softened. Add the chicken & the water, cover then cook for 45 minutes in a medium heat or until the chicken is cooken through, turning the thighs from time to time.
  • Preheat oven to 190c / 375f/ GM5.
  • Discard the chicken skin, remove the meat from the bones & place the pieces in a bowl.
  • Pour the saffron or ground nutmeg paste over the chicken, then stir in the grated cheese and 2-3 tbsp of water to make an 'unctous mixture'. Stir in the beaten eggs & season with the salt & pepper to taste.
  • Generously oil an ovenproof pie or quiche dish about the same zie as the rounds of phyllo. Overlap 5 sheets so that at least 1/3 of the phyllo is allowed to hang over the sides of the dish, remembering to lightly brush each sheet with the vegetable oil. Place a final 6th piece of phyllo over the top of the others - this one should be central so that it reinforces the base a little.
  • Pour in most of the chicken mixture, followed by a layer of sliced ricotta then a final layer of the chicken.
  • Fold the overhanging phyllo pastry over the top so that is wrapped but not too tight. Stick the edges together using a pastry brush & the glaze. Place another sheet of phyllo on top, tucking the edges into the dish, followed by 4 more sheets of phyllo, being sure to brush them with the glaze as you go. Finish by brushing more g;ase on the top.
  • Place the tagine on a low shelf in the oven for around 20-25 minutes. The pastry should be crisp & deep golden when the dish is ready.
  • Serve hot, on a flat dish & cut into slices as you would a cake.

CHICKEN TAGINE



Chicken Tagine image

Chicken tagine is a classic Moroccan dish made in a special pot called a tagine and usually features preserved lemons and olives. This recipe uses lots of the warm spices and harissa that are authentic to Morocco, but it is cooked in a skillet. The substitution of fresh lemons makes this practical for a weeknight without a trip to the market or online.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium onions, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
2 lemons, one sliced, one juiced
2 tablespoons harissa (or less if you don't like too much spice)
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup pitted briny green olives
Fresh cilantro leaves, picked, for serving
Flaked toasted almonds, for serving
Couscous, cooked according to the package instructions, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Add the oil to a large pan and heat over medium-high. When the oil is hot, add the chicken, skin-side down, and cook until the skins are brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate.
  • Add the onions, garlic, cinnamon, cumin, coriander, ginger and turmeric and cook just until the onions start to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the lemon slices, lemon juice, harissa, chicken broth and olives, then stir to combine. Nestle the chicken back into the pan, skin-side up.
  • Place in the oven, uncovered, and cook until the chicken is cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Season to taste. Scatter the cilantro and almonds over the top. Serve over the couscous.
