chicken tagine
North African braise
Chicken tagine is a North African stew, traditional to Morocco, featuring chicken slow-cooked with aromatic spices, preserved lemons, and olives.
Named for the conical clay pot it's cooked in, the dish blends sweet and savory flavors—often incorporating dried fruits, honey, or saffron.
We ordered the chicken tagine with couscous.
