i just made a jar of preserved lemons in anticipation of making this dish soon. unfortunately the lemons need to "preserve" for 30 days.
LEMON CHICKEN TAGINE
serves 4
1 tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, crushed
4 chicken quarters
1 level tsp ground turmeric
1 Tbsp ground coriander
1 1/2 cups chicken stock
4 quarters of preserved lemons
salt
freshly ground pepper
fresh chinese parsley for garnish
- heat the oil in the tagine base, fry the onion and garlic gently for 3-4 minutes without coloring
- cut the chicken quarters into two pieces and add to the tagine, raising the heat slightly and browning evenly, turning pieces frequently
- add the turmeric, coriander and chicken stock with some seasoning, bring to a simmer
- rinse the pieces of lemon thoroughly in cold running water, cut and discard the fruit, cut the peel into thin strips, and stir them into the chicken
- cover and cook very slowly for 1+ hours. remove the lid and boil the broth rapidly, if necessary, for a few minutes to thicken the consistency
- garnish with fresh chinese parsley before serving
