طجين البطاطة وْ الجّْلْبانة/ Moroccan Chicken, Potatoes and Peas Tajine / Tajine Marocain Au Poulet, Patates et Petits-Pois!


This is a Moroccan classic recipe. The peas and potatoes are soft, but not soggy and most importantly are full of flavour, then comes the addition of lemon and tomatoes to add a special kick of acidity which goes well with the chicken; whereas the olives provide an earthy richness and a saltiness to balance the sweetness of potatoes and peas. Just marvellous. It is one of the most popular tagines in Morocco and has the right combination of flavour and vegetables

Thank you for the lesson on using a tajine. I have had one for several years but it was difficult to find any real guidelines on using it. It is a basic terracotta colour and is suitable for stovetop. I was browning my meats first, but I was always uneasy heating it hot enough to do this. But so far, no problems. Now I know how to do it properly. Love your tajines.

The meals I've had served in tagines have been wonderful, the chicken is always so tender. They really do have a wonderful spicy flavour that is totally different from curry. Thanks for all the info, I've never owned one myself but would like to get one.
