This is a traditional slow cooked
dish that highlights the intense aromatics and complex flavours
of Moroccan cooking. Uses the famous Ras el hanout spice blend
intermingled with the sweetness of pomegranate
1. Chop Chicken into large chunks
(if using thigh fillets)
2. Add 2 tablespoons Oil to heated
Tagine and add onion. Sauté for a few minutes until it
starts to soften.
3. Add bay leaves, coriander roots,
ginger and garlic & sauté briefly (add a little stock
if dry)
4. Add Spice Bazaar spices, pinch
of salt, pepper and sauté to release flavours for a minute
or so taking care not to burn the spices - do not let it dry out!
5. Add the diced sweet potato, chicken
and pomegranate to the tagine and mix well. Add a little stock
(Avoid the temptation to use too much stock as the vegetables
and chicken will also give off liquid)
6. Cover & simmer for 10 minutes.
7. Add Red capsicums, olives &
half the parsley & simmer approximately 30 minutes until tender.
Taste for seasoning.
8. If there is too much liquid, simmer uncovered to reduce.

alongside a cous cous or rice side dish.
