Ingredients
chick	1,5kg
bulbs	2 pcs
melted vegetable oil	1h l.
olives
small lemon	3 pcs
potatoes	10 pieces
vegetable oil	50ml
salt
pepper
ginger
cinnamon
turmeric
ras el hanout spice mix
coriander

Cooking method

• Place the chicken pieces in a bowl. I took chicken thighs instead of chicken. Sprinkle with spices, add melted butter, half a large lemon cut into quarters, or a medium-sized whole lemon, add 5ml water. Mix everything well and leave to marinate for at least 1 hour.
• 
• Chop 2 onions
• 
• Traditionally, tagine is cooked in a dish of the same name, which is a massive ceramic pot tightly closed with a high conical lid. I have no tagine, I took a regular saucepan.
• Pour vegetable oil on the bottom of a saucepan and add the cooked chopped onion. Fry over high heat for several minutes. Then put the chicken with marinade and fry for 5-10 minutes without a lid.
• 
• Pour enough water into the tagine so that the chicken is covered with water. When boiling off, the water must be topped up.
• In the meantime, cook the potatoes: peel and cut into halves (or large chunks), and place them in salted water to prevent the potatoes from browning.
• We will also prepare olives by washing them in water.
• 
• Cut the remaining 2 lemons.
• When the chicken is almost ready, add a little water if necessary and place the potatoes, olives and lemons in it.
• 
• Cover and simmer until the potatoes are tender, adding water if necessary.

The dish is designed for

5 servings

Time for preparing:

5 minutes + 1 hour marinating + 1 hour cooking

National cuisine

moroccan

Note

ras el hanout - name of a Moroccan spice mixture

I added lemons only at the stage of marinating the chicken, I did not put lemons along with the potatoes, but despite this, the taste of lemons was felt quite strongly in the finished dish. I think if I added more lemons while stewing, the taste would be even sharper.

In general, I reduced the number of products as follows:
4 chicken thighs
1/2 lemon, pickled
1/2 can of olives
2 potatoes
Below in the comment lu_estrada https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=309390.0 clarified that the original recipe uses pickled lemons and that the taste of the lemon will not be so sharp. Many thanks to Lyudmila for clarification.

A very interesting dish! I'm taking it to bookmarks. Thank you! : rose: Only one moment remained unclear: I have never met a mixture of "ras el hanut", what is included in it? I understand you cooked without it, or am I mistaken?

Thank you. I’m glad, Honestly, I didn’t look for it either, I decided that there would be enough spices without it, and our city is small, it was unlikely to find it. But it can be found somewhere in large hypermarkets in medium-sized cities.

I'll pay attention now, maybe I'll find it somewhere, but for now I'll cook it without her.

Marinochka, I really liked your dish cooked in tagine, And the sharpness of the lemon will not be the same if you use pickled lemon, as the Moroccans do. Here I will buy small lemons, pickle them and show them to you.
P.S. Looked at the original recipe - yes, they use pickled lemon.

Lyudmila, thank you very much for correcting me I will really wait for your pickled lemons

Lyudmila, thank you very much for correcting me I will really wait for your pickled lemons

Well, then I'll wait.

Marinochka and Rada, I will definitely share, but I'll just buy small lemons, like you have there, otherwise they are the size of a fist, and the crust is thick as a finger, horror
And for marinating, you need thin little lemons, in general isshu.
I bought the Tajine stove, burning with passion, two weeks ago. I haven't cooked yet, I ordered a divider, because my oven is electric, and the tajin is tender, not for an electrician. Together with lemons I will cook harissa pasta, as well as ras-el-hanout spice mix.
It turns out that without all this, it is simply impossible to cook a real tajin dish.

Yes, Lyudmila, you are preparing thoroughly !!! And I don’t even know such words, and I have no idea what it looks like. If you tell about all these "things" or even better show in the photo how it all looks, I will be very grateful to you (I think that not only me).

Of course, dear Rada, preparation is a full and direct course in tajin, the most important thing is desire, and we will prepare the components ourselves. This means that the result will be excellent.

And if you tell about all these "things" or even better show in the photo how it all looks, I will be very grateful to you (I think that not only me).

Glad, here's a photo of tagine

I have never seen such in our stores, maybe somewhere in large cities and you can buy

Luda, sorry, but what is Amazon?

Marina, well, I searched these tiny lemons like we have there. In general, the search continues.

And I bought it, can you imagine? !!! Half a kilo ... their current is gone, I like to drink tea with a lemon! I went again, and these are over, there are others, thick-skinned ...

Amazon is a marketplace, auction, like ebay and aliexpress.

[glad]

glad, ebay is an auction, and Amazon. is a shop operating all over the world. Add to Amazon dot.com. A window will open, write what you are looking for and get the result.

Now it is clear!

Marinochka, in a couple of days I will write you a recipe for pickling lemons in Moroccan, if you like it, you can share it with the girls. sorry, but I, as soon as life allows me to whiten deeper inhale and exhale, so immediately accomplish my goal.

[lu_estrada]

go to amazon

For tagine on Amazon? Why so far away? Now we have a lot of them for sale, all different. I am sure that you can find it too! lu_estrada, why do you think that tagine and electrician are incompatible? Here, many people cook in it on electric stoves, and so do I. And the recipe pickled lemons available, although it may be different. We are waiting for yours.

[Larissa]

LarissaThanks for the science. I said what I know, tell the girl where to go, after all, she is from eastern Kazakhstan, there is a Chinese Amazon nearby. Sorry again. and I will put the recipe for lemons when my infarcted heart stabilizes. Excuse me.

[Ludmila]

Well, what are you, Ludmila, for what? Thank you for your concern and get better! And yet - with us HERE there is a fairly developed topic about tagines, maybe there are Kizi's fellow countrywomen there? They are also often sold in the markets in ceramic dishes.

[Kizya]

Found Kizya! Here is a link - look at the variety there: 🔗
And if you open "delivery", then there: "We deliver across Kazakhstan".

[Larissa]

Larissa, well, what are you, Larochka (now I speak like you), thank you for being there, I rejoice and laugh with you, you know, in my sitting-lying position with a dangling piece of meat in my chest, you are soooo: friends : support and hope for the best.
Thank you, I'll go: fakel: I read about Tajiks, I love this Temka.
And about the electric plates for the Tajiks, I read in the book the recommendations for my Tajik. The divider has already been purchased on the Amazon, I even managed to cook it once according to the recipe from the book, it was eggplant-babies, tasteful. Boom dare.

[Larissa,]

Larissa, The topic about tagines is very interesting, I will read it, a special thank you for the link !!! Lyudochka, Health to you, get better !!!
Girls, thank you very much !!!

[Luda]

The divider has already been purchased at Amazon

Luda, and what is this divider? True, I do not need it, I have an induction cooker, and I cook in tajin on a special magnetic disc adapter, but I’m just curious what kind of divider the electrician might have. And how do you feel? Get well soon and come back to us!

Larochka, I still used it for 30-40 years on the gas stove, when I cooked jellied meat, and after purchasing the tagine, I read a recommendation in the book, you cannot put the tagine on the electric stove without the Heat Diffuser, so I had to look for such a nice assistant. And I'm wondering about your magnetic disk adapter, I and I need it!
Look, if it's possible, of course, no, I'll delete it.

Larochka, thank you very much, I am an optimist by nature, I hold on, only my husband is frightened sometimes, he baaaaals me with everything he can, you, grit, the most beautiful thing that could be in my life. Yes, I hold on thanks to this site, so much fun, pleasure just reading how you all communicate, that my heart is filled with love and faith in good people and a long life. : hi: Thank you all lovely girls. happy future.

you grit are the most beautiful thing that could be in my life

Oh, how nice it is to read! Please pass him our gentle virtual kisses!
I went to your link, but I did not understand what the point is in this divider! We have these sold in all hardware stores and are used on gas, not electric stoves to evenly distribute the flame. Do you have an electric stove or an induction stove? If not induction, then you do not need such an adapter disk as mine is - this is an adapter so that you can cook with induction in any cookware, not only magnetic.

True, I don't need it, I have an induction cooker, and I cook in tajin on a special magnetic disc adapter

Larissa, what kind of disc you have, I have a disc for an Emile Anri induction, but stupid to the point of disgrace, once I tried to cook a chicken on the stove at full power for an hour, and the chicken did not even boil, I decided that these adapter discs were nonsense.

but stupid to disgrace

and dear to madness! I have two Frabosk discs of different diameters - the price is quite adequate. Periodically (but, frankly, not very often, because.enough suitable dishes) I use it, the flight is normal!

🔗

Larochka, I have the latest induction cooker, like all my kitchen appliances from Sumsung, I just follow the instructions of the tajin manufacturer, and my husband is also a literary expert, and until I bought this divider, I didn't cook in tajin.
Actually, we really like food cooked in tajinchik, something that reminds the taste of granny's food cooked in pots in a Russian oven. That's the whole story.

In fact, they cook in tagine on charcoal or gas - I haven't seen anything else there. And the point is precisely in the ceramics and the special shape of the lid, that perspiration flows down the walls, and does not drip into the dish. In general, most of the Moroccan cuisine dishes are perfectly prepared in multicooker and, especially, in pressure cookers (I cook almost all the recipes brought from Morocco at Steba DD1). The main thing here is spices and tightness. Salted (rather than pickled) lemons are often used, but they can be replaced with tangerines and oranges. And there is a selection of commonly used spices and vegetables that give this very organic and aromatic cuisine a distinct flavor.

Ah! Luda! Now everything is clear! Apparently, this is why the recommendations say that an adapter disk is needed for induction electrics! Not just a flame divider, but an adapter! This is about him, about the one that is magnetized!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAA, understandably, but we bought what we found here, it works fine, although I'm a little afraid.
Thank you Larochka for clarification, yes, European sites are not sent to us, so they use what we have.

Larissa, thanks for the photo, I haven't seen any of them here, and I barely found Anrivsky, and it cost almost as much as their tagine.
