My first experience with Moroccan Cooking

---

This dish is most often associated with Morocco,today you can buy it in stores with household goods.
It is a clay fired vessel that, before the first use, soak in water, lubricate it with oil and put it in the oven for a moment at bout 150 degrees.

I got my tagine from my friend from Moroccofrom the city of Agadir, he bought it at the local market.

---

Everyone has their own secret of making the best tagine. The classic combination is chicken, green olives and pickled lemon.

---

My First Tajine will be with :

• chicken breasts

• 3 onions

• 4 potatoes

• 2 large carrots

• 1 zucchini

• 4 whole tomatos chopped

• handful of peas and raisins

• a few dried dates

• chilli pepper

• homemade pickled lemon

  Marinate:

• olive oil

• cinnamon

• turmeric

• cumin

• dried coriande

• dried ginger

• black pepper and salt

---

Chicken breast and vegetables cut into pieces

---

I put Tajine over the fire and put some oil, plant onion, then added pieces of chicken, marinate and vegetables. I was putting into the shape of a pyramid.

---

Put the lid on.Slow cooking the food over a long period of time with a bunch of spices. So I left this cooking slowly for around an hour and a half.

---

Tajine are served straight to the table and people use their hands and bread to dip in and share the meal. I served it with a baguette and grilled tortilla.

---

This dish is an amazing wealth of aromas and minimal preparations. Tajine is not only tasty, but also nutritious, filling and healthy. I recommend it to everyone .
Enjoy your meal !
