Tajine of chicken with artichokes recipe
- Cuisine: Moroccan
- Serves 4
I experienced my first tajine in Morocco and you couldn’t get more genuine than that. It was a taste sensation that was both simple and complex. The flavours were wonderful and to me this dish works so well. I have used tinned artichokes in brine for this but you can use fresh when they are in season.
Ingredients
1 chicken cut into 8 pieces
Olive oil
2 onions finely chopped
3 garlic cloves crushed
Pinch of saffron threads
½ teaspoon ground ginger
350ml chicken stock
½ lemon juiced
1 handful chopped coriander
1 handful chopped flat leaf parsley
Peel of 1 preserved lemon
16 green olives
9 artichokes cut into quarters
Preparation
In a wide bottom pan or casserole dish that can hold all the chicken pieces in one even layer, add olive oil and start to heat.
Now add the onions, sauté stirring over a low heat for about 5-10 minutes then add the garlic, saffron & ginger.
Now add the chicken and season well, add the chicken stock and simmer for about 20 minutes and turn a couple of times during this.
Add a little more stock if it becomes too dry.
Take out the chicken breast after about 20 minutes and place to one side, continue to cook the remaining pieces for about 25 minutes and after this return the breasts to the pan.
Add the lemon juice to the sauce with the herbs, preserved lemon & olives.
Simmer for about 5-10 minutes until the sauce thickens, stir in the artichokes and adjust the seasoning.

Hot Tips
How to store spices
Spices are generally at their best for up to a month, if stored correctly. Store spices in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. Humidity, light and heat will cause herbs and spices to quickly lose their flavour.
