Instructions

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.

4

Prepare couscous according to the package directions. Fluff with a fork. Serve the tagine over the couscous, garnished with fresh cilantro.
