Made my first tagine meal
Made my first tagine meal and I think it's just the first of many, many more. I love the method and the results. If you are intersted, the step by step and photos are on my blog. http://www.kokoscornerblog.com/mycor...gine-meal.html or http://tinyurl.com/33kt5gt Here's the recipe I somewhat followed. @@@@@ Now You're Cooking! Export Format Chicken Tagine with preserved lemon, green olives, and thyme poultry, tagine/morocco 8-10 chicken thighs or 4 whole legs 1 tablespoon olive oil with a pat of butter 2 preserved lemons; cut into strips for the marinade 1 onion; grated 3 cloves garlic; crushed 1 1-inch piece of ginger; peeled and grated small bunch of cilantro; finely chopped pinch saffron threads juice of one lemon 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt 3-4 tablespoons olive oil sea salt and finely ground; black pepper In a bowl, mix together all the ingredients for the marinade. Put the chicken thighs or legs in a shallow dish and coat with the marinade rubbing it into the skin. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours. Heat the olive oil with the butter in a tagine or heavy-based casserole dish. Remove the chicken pieces from the marinade and brown them in the oil. Pour over the marinade that is left in the dish and add enough water to come halfway up the sides of the chicken pieces. Bring the water to a boil, reduce the heat, cover with a lid, and simmer for about 45 minutes, turning the chicken from time to time. Add the preserved lemons, olives, and half the thyme to the tagine. Cover again and simmer for a further 15-20 minutes. Check seasoning and sprinkle the rest of the thyme over the top. Serve immediately from the tagine.

In the ingredients list it should be the chicken, oil, preserved lemons_then_6oz cracked green olives and 1-2 teaspoons dried thyme or oregano.

Onions give off a lot of water and you really don't want to add too much more. Sometimes we take the chicken pieces out of the sauce and put them under the broiler to get the skin crispy. I also sometimes do a small whole chicken instead of pieces. We eat this Moroccan style with everything on one platter and use bread instead of utensils.

No I don't, and I agree the one I bought looks way cooler. I was tempted though because the Emile Henry was purple, one of my favorite colors. I like the earthy, rustic look of the one I bought better though. > >And did you get that citrus juicer one our shopping expedition, b/c I >don't remember seeing it. > Oh crumb. I can't remember if I got it at Williams Sonoma or Sur la Table but yes, I bought it up there. I do know I need the brown pair of the Ariat shoes I bought though.

Pretty sure I got mine from http://www.tagines.com/cat_moroccan_cooking_tagine.cfm I love your citrus juicer but it looks as though it takes up a lot of storage space. I have a wooden reamer from IKEA that works very well but you still have to strain out the seeds. So far it hasn't been a problem. gloria p |

Wore 'em around the house for a few hours and found that, after a while, it was uncomfortable on my instep. I have a really high arch. Dang.
