Chicken Tagine Recipe with Lemon and Olive
You remember, a few days ago, I told you about my trip to Morocco. That is to say, I didn’t just bring back photos. I also took the opportunity to bring back lots of spices (which flavor my cooking) and a pretty tagine found in the streets of Marrakech. When I got home, I wanted to make a Chicken Tagine Recipe with Lemon and Olive.
For information, at home, I have ceramic hobs. It’s absolutely brilliant, but the terracotta tagine doesn’t fit on it, so I had to buy a stainless steel pan base to be able to use it but as there is still heat loss, this doubled the cost. cooking time. In short, my guests had to wait a bit… Huh!?
Since then, I have found another technique to cook my tagines, I make them in the oven. It’s much faster and tastier!
So, while waiting for the 2nd part of my trip and a few other good addresses, I offer you this tasty chicken, lemon and olive tagine.
