Do you have a bunch of carrots and were wondering what to make with them? Try something new that will become a staple in your family. Chicken tagine with carrots and olives is a staple in the Moroccan table and is easy to throw together even on busy days; hence, many Moroccan families prepare it at least a couple of times a month. The mouth-watering chicken pieces braised with spices, the tender texture of carrots, and the thick sauce make it a family favorite. This tagine, like other tagines, is served alongside homemade “khobz” (Moroccan bread), though you could use sourdough, baguette, or any local crusty bread available. The seasoning of this classic chicken carrot tagine includes 2 main spices (ginger, turmeric). However, the combination of all the ingredients along with the preserved lemon (nowadays easily available in supermarkets and online stores), create a rich complex flavor that will surprise you. The word tagine refers to the traditional Moroccan clay pot with a cone-shaped lid used for slow cooking. However, nowadays, Moroccans use regular pots or pressure cookers to prepare every-day tagine recipes, which is the case in this class where we are using a regular pot. Traditionally, Tagine is eaten communally within the warmth of friends and family. Moroccans prefer eating from the same plate, using the pieces of crusty bread to scoop up the meat, vegetables and sauce. Yet, eating with a fork, or serving the tagine in individual plates is also an acceptable, rather modern, way of enjoying it.
