Cook Time:
From the book Tagine: Spicy Stews from Morocco.
This tagine is both fruity and spicy, though not too hot. The ginger and rosemary give a wonderful aroma! It can be made with chicken pieces, (I use boneless skinless breasts) pheasant or duck. Serves well with a buttery couscous and a leafy salad.
Directions:
1
Heat oil and butter in a tagine or heavy-based casserole dish.
2
Stir in ginger, onion, chopped rosemary, and chilies and sauté until the onion begins to soften.
3
Stir in halved rosemary sprigs and the cinnamon sticks.
4
Add chicken and brown on both sides.
5
Toss in the apricots and honey.
6
Stir in plum tomatoes with their juice.
7
Add a little water if necessary to ensure there is enough to cover the base of the tagine and submerge the apricots.
8
Bring liquid to a boil, then reduce heat to low.
9
Cover with a lid and cook gently for 35 - 40 minutes.
10
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
11
Sprinkle shredded basil over chicken.
12
Serve immediately.
Ratings & Reviews:
Great easy and flavorful recipe. This was the first dish I made in my tagine and I really loved it. The flavors married together so well. The only thing I did differently was use a can of diced tomatoes instead of the plum/whole tomatoes. Impressive dish. Thanks!

I really enjoyed this meal, as did my husband. Very easy to make. I couldn't find red chillies so I used my Mother In Law's Trinidad pepper sauce and it worked perfectly. I served it with whole wheat couscous and a side of steamed veggies.
I will make this again for sure!

Enjoyed this very much. The combination of flavors sounded a bit wierd, but it was delicious. Excellent with the fresh basil over top at serving.
