Chicken Tagine is a traditional Moroccan dish that has been enjoyed for centuries. This flavorful and aromatic dish is named after the earthenware pot in which it is cooked, known as a "tagine." The dish typically consists of tender chicken, slow-cooked with a blend of exotic spices, such as cumin, coriander, and cinnamon, along with a medley of vegetables, dried fruits, and olives. Renowned chefs like Yotam Ottolenghi and Claudia Roden have popularized this dish, infusing their own unique twists. The best version of this dish can be found in the bustling markets of Marrakech, where street vendors skillfully prepare and serve this iconic dish to locals and tourists alike. To achieve the authentic flavors of Chicken Tagine, it's crucial to use preserved lemons and saffron, which are essential ingredients in this recipe. For a vegetarian alternative, consider using chickpeas or tofu in place of chicken.
