Mod de preparare

Pas cu pas

1
Pat the chicken thighs dry and season them generously with salt and black pepper.
Aproximativ 2 min.
2
Heat the olive oil in a large tagine or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Aproximativ 1 min.
3
Sear the chicken thighs skin-side down for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and crispy, then flip and sear for another 3-4 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
Aproximativ 10 min.
Nota bucătarului: Searing adds flavor and helps render the fat.
4
Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook for 5-7 minutes until softened and translucent, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
Aproximativ 7 min.
5
Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, ground turmeric, cumin, paprika, cinnamon, and coriander. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: Be careful not to burn the spices.
6
Pour in the chicken broth and the saffron threads (if using) with their soaking liquid, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze.
Aproximativ 1 min.
7
Return the chicken thighs to the pot, nestling them into the liquid and spices.
Aproximativ 1 min.
8
Bring the liquid to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and cook for 40 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
Aproximativ 40 min.
Nota bucătarului: If using a tagine, ensure the lid is properly sealed to trap steam.
9
Stir in the sliced preserved lemon rind and green olives. Continue to cook for another 5-10 minutes, uncovered, to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
Aproximativ 10 min.
10
Remove the tagine from the heat and stir in the fresh cilantro and parsley.
Aproximativ 1 min.
11
Serve hot, perhaps with couscous or crusty bread.
