MOROCCAN CHICKEN TAGINE
Chicken tagine is a traditional Moroccan dish of chicken pieces braised with spices, garlic, onion, olives, and preserved lemons. It's company-worthy yet easy to throw together.

Steps:
- Combine the spices in a small bowl and set aside. Zest the lemon. Combine 1 teaspoon of the lemon zest with 1 minced garlic clove; set aside.
- Season both sides of chicken pieces with 2 teaspoons salt and ½ teaspoon pepper. Heat the oil in a large heavy-bottomed Dutch oven or pan over medium-high heat until beginning to smoke. Brown the chicken pieces skin side down in single layer until deep golden, about 5 minutes; using tongs, flip the chicken pieces over and brown the other side, about 4 minutes more. Transfer the chicken to a large plate; when cool enough to handle, peel off the skin and discard. Pour off and discard all but 1 tablespoon of fat from the pan.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until they have browned at the edges but still retain their shape, 5 to 7 minutes (add a few tablespoons of water now and then if the pan gets too dark). Add the remaining minced garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the spices and flour and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the broth, honey, remaining lemon zest, and ¼ teaspoon salt, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to loosen any browned bits. Add the chicken (with any accumulated juices) back in, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Add the carrots, cover, and simmer until the chicken is cooked through and the carrots are tender-crisp, about 10 minutes more.
- Stir in the olives, reserved lemon zest-garlic mixture, cilantro, and 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice; taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and more lemon juice, if desired. Serve with couscous.
- Note: Don't fret too much over trimming the chicken thighs. The skin gets removed midway through the cooking process and most of the fat will cook off and get drained. I usually just take kitchen shears and quickly snip off any excess skin or fat. Cracked green olives are olives that have been 'cracked' or split open before curing, allowing the brine or marinade to penetrate. You can find them in your supermarket's olive bar, or substitute any green olive that you like.
- Make-Ahead: After you have completed the step of cooking the carrots, the dish can be refrigerated for up to 2 days. To serve, gently warm on the stove until the chicken is heated through, then proceed to the step where the olives and remaining ingredients are added.

MOROCCAN CHICKEN STEW WITH GREEN BEANS
A couple of weeks ago, I posted an entry encouraging you guys to make your own tandoori spice at home, inspired by a delicious one I had found in my local market. Not being that guys that's going to leave you hanging with a rogue jar of "what do I do with that now?" spice blend, this week's "Dinner Rush" is putting it back in action to create a quick and delicious Moroccan inspired stew. The flavors of Morocco are known for rather closely treading the line between sweet and savory. Lots of the spices in our tandoori blend - cumin, ginger and turmeric, for instance - are blended with cinnamon, lemon and dried fruits to produce simply composed and intricately flavored dishes. For ease of preparation, I've borrowed only a few of those ideas. If you've got the time to get a bit crazy, though, see how a pinch of saffron and a handful each of chopped prunes and chopped green olives completely take this dish to a new level. This stew is a great idea to keep on hand, too, for a "Meatless Monday" inspiration. You can easily swap the chicken stock for veggie stock or water and the shredded chicken for a can of chick peas. Do me a huge favor, though, and don't skimp on the cilantro at the end. It cuts through the spice in the tandoori powder and gives the dish a great balance. Plus it's one of my top three favorite herbs, for those curious.

Steps:
- Place a large high-sided saute pan over medium heat with the oil. Add the onion and garlic to the pan and cook, stirring often, until just tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the tandoori spice, cinnamon and tomato paste to the pan and continue cooking until caramelized and very aromatic, about 2 minutes.
- Add the chicken stock, tomatoes, lentils and honey and bring the liquid up to a boil while scraping any caramelized bits up from the bottom of the pan. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the lentils are almost cooked through, about 10 minutes. Add the green beans, chicken and lemon zest to the pan and continue cooking until the lentils and beans are cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Serve the stew over steamed white rice garnished with cilantro.

- Pat chicken pieces dry and season lightly with kosher salt on both sides. Now, rub the chicken all over with the spice rub (if you kept the skins, make sure to apply the spice rub underneath the skins for best flavor.) Set aside in room temperature for 40 to 45 minutes or so (or, if you have the time, cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight. If you do this, take chicken out of fridge and let it rest at room temperature for a few minutes before cooking.)
- In a 12" deep ceramic pan or braiser like this one, heat 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking. Add chicken (skin side down, if you kept skin) and brown for 5 minutes. Turn over and brown on the other side for another 3 minutes or so.
- Lower heat to medium-low and add onions, garlic, and cilantro. Cover and cook for 3 minutes, then add lemon slices, olives, raisins, and dried apricots.

- Prep your preserved lemon by cutting it in half, removing the pulp and roughly chopping it. The lemon skin into strips and set aside.
- Start by drizzling 1-2 tbsp. of olive oil on the base of your dish. Add your chicken drumsticks on top. Top with your onions and preserved lemon (pulp and skin). Drizzle your spices then place your potatoes all around the chicken. Top with green beans and drizzle with salt and pepper. Drizzle about a 1/3 of a cup of water and cover with your lid.Make sure that your tagine is cracked open like this to allow for the steam to escape and avoid overflow.
- At this point, it is just a waiting game. Keep an eye on your tagine, make sure that it doesn't burn. However, I will say that if you do leave it on low-heat and use a lid like demonstrated above, your tagine will not burn. After 40-45 minutes your Tagine should look very saucy.
- As you can probably see, the Tagine is still very watery. If you are the kind of person who likes a saucy stew then just go ahead and serve it. However, if like me, you prefer a thicker stew, then let your tagine simmer for another 5-8 minutes uncovered.
