Instructions
Season chicken with salt, ginger, cumin, and turmeric. Heat olive oil in a tagine or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Remove.
In the same pot, cook the grated onion and garlic for 5 minutes until softened. Add saffron and broth, stirring to scrape up brown bits.
Return the chicken to the pot. Add preserved lemon and olives. Cover and simmer on low for 40 minutes until the chicken is falling off the bone.
Tip: If you can't find preserved lemons, use lemon zest plus a tablespoon of fresh lemon juice stirred in at the end.
Prepare couscous according to the package directions. Fluff with a fork. Serve the tagine over the couscous, garnished with fresh cilantro.
