Lemon Chicken Tagine and Fragrant Chickpea Soup


Saturday 06 December, 2008


So I am still on a tagine/North African food run.

Here is a photo of the tagine closed. As I was making this, about 3 hrs before a friend comes over for dinner I realized that the preserved Lemons I had made and kept in the fridge went bad. So, this had to be made with a non-preserved preserved lemon (if that makes sense). The smell in the kitchen is great. The ckicken is very tender given all the steam that the tagine keeps in. The ckicken was a bit of a challenge. It was still a bit frozen when I had to take a big cleaver to the legs. Let's just say I think I could have scared anyone looking in the window with the multiple hacks of the cleaver on the chicken!
