Tagine


Tagine is a traditional North African dish named after the earthenware pot in which it is cooked. This flavorful slow-cooked stew features tender meat or vegetables simmered with aromatic spices and dried fruits, resulting in a rich and complex dish that’s perfect for a cozy evening meal.

Ingredients:
– 1 lb boneless chicken thighs, or beef cubes
– 2 tbsp olive oil
– 1 large onion, chopped
– 3 garlic cloves, minced
– 1 tsp ground cinnamon
– 1 tsp ground ginger
– 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
– 1/2 tsp ground coriander
– 1/4 tsp ground allspice
– 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
– 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
– 1 cup chicken or beef broth
– 1/2 cup dried apricots, halved
– 1/2 cup green olives, pitted
– 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro or parsley

Instructions:
1. Heat the olive oil in a large tagine pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
2. Stir in the cinnamon, ginger, turmeric, coriander, allspice, nutmeg, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. Cook for another minute to toast the spices.
3. Add the chicken or beef, diced tomatoes with their juice, and broth to the pot. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Let cook for about 1 hour, or until the meat is tender.
4. Stir in the dried apricots and green olives. Cook for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the fruits are plump and the sauce has thickened slightly.
5. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Serve hot over couscous or rice, garnished with chopped fresh cilantro or parsley. Enjoy your delicious North African Tagine!
