Making chicken marinade
- Place the chicken pieces in a big bowl and add a half teaspoon of each of the above spices to marinate them along with the chopped garlic and parsley.
- Add some sunflower oil and mix everything (or both oils).
- Start by layering sliced onions or tomatoes (or both) at the base of the tagine.
- Place the marinated chicken in the center of the tagine.
- Arrange the vegetables so they cover the chicken.
- Season the vegetables with a small pinch of salt and pepper.
- Add two to three table spoons of each oil (extra olive oil is optional).
- Cook for at least 45 minutes on low heat.
- Continue to keep an eye on your tagine, and occasionally add water (only when it gets dry).
Notes
- When adding veggies to marinated chicken, always start with those that require more time to cook, like carrots, and, if you have any, add the peas on top.
- The number of spoons you used to marinate the chicken at the beginning determines how much oil you should add to your tagine.
- Keep your tagine on low heat at all times to avoid drying it out and the need to add water; if there is extra sauce at the end, turn the heat up for a few minutes to reduce it.
