Ingredients:
- or if you have it or can buy it ,10 tsp ras-al-hanout spice mix
- 1 chicken about 3 & 1/2 lbs ,cut into 8 pieces
- small amount saffron threads -optional
- 2 green chillis ,split lengthways
- fresh mint sprigs for serving
Directions:
- This is traditionally cooked in a tagine but I do it in a cast iron enamelled casserole dish
- Heat your oven to 350 F .
- Place the sea salt , spice mix and chicken pieces in a plastic bag and shake to coat .
- Heat the oil in your chosen cooking pot .It needs to be hot to brown the chicken ,not stew it .
- Add the chicken ,2 or 3 pieces at a time ,and brown all over .
- Remove as browned and set aside .
- Add the onion,ginger ,garlic ,and chilli and cook for 3 minutes ,stirring around .
- Add tomato paste ,saffron threads,thyme ,lemon zest and juice ,honey ,apricots , carrot and wine .
- Bring to a simmer ,stirring all the time .
- Return the chicken to the pot
- Crumble in the stock cubes and add just enough water to barely cover the chicken .
- Cover and bring to the simmer again
- Place in the oven and cook slowly till the chicken is tender
- When ready ,stir through the pistachio nuts
- Serve on a bed of couscous with mint sprigs as garnish
- Finish off with a dollop of natural yoghurt on top .
- If you use a tagine ,this will be cooked on the stove top obviously but I've never bought one ,preferring to use what I have in the kitchen already.
