Ingredients
- 1 large whole chicken
- paprika
- turmeric
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 onions
- 2 tsp Corriander Seeds
- 2 tsp Cumin seeds
- 1 lemon
- 1 tbsp New Zealand Honey Co Thyme Honey
- 4 Cloves of Garlic
- 1 cup Dried Dates
- 2 springs mint leaves
Method
- Cut the chicken into 6 equal pieces and then rub in the paprika and turmeric. Let the chicken sit while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
- Add the butter, olive oil, diced onions, coriander, cumin and sliced lemon to a frying pan and sauté for 3 minutes.
- Brown the chicken pieces in the same frying pan for 2 minutes on each side, then place the chicken in the tagine base.
- Turn off the heat and add the honey, roughly chopped garlic cloves, dried dates and mint leaves and season. Stir and then add this to the tagine base, before adding two cups of water. Season with cracked black pepper and place the tagine lid onto the base.
- Turn oven to 160 degrees and bake for 3 hours.
- Note:
- If you are using an earthen tagine, it is important to bring the oven and tagine up to heat together i.e.: do not place tagine in a hot oven. If you are using a tagine with a cast iron base, you can prepare using that on the stove top and put it straight into a pre heated oven.
- If you do not have a tagine, you can follow the recipe above exactly and use an earthen or ceramic casserole dish instead.

Method
- Chicken Tagine:
- 1) Place the chicken portions in a bowl and add the spices and oil and allow to marinade overnight ideally (you can get away with not marinading and just coating without major impact on flavour
- 2)Heat 5 tablespoons of olive oil in large casserole or saucepan is fine. Fry the chicken portions, browning quickly. Remove from pan. (although traditionally not browned, it tastes better in my opinion)
- 3) Fry onions in same pan and then add garlic and brown too
- 4) Deglaze pan with little water if becomes sticky. Put chicken back in casserole / saucepan
- 5) Add any remaining marinade not stuck to chicken previously
- 6) Add spices, chopped parsley and coriander, tomatoes, tomato puree and honey and sufficient water to cover the chicken. Bring up to the boil and then turn down heat and cook slowly over a very low heat for 1.5hrs (or cook in over at 180 degrees C. for same time). Chicken should be very tender and tasty.
- 7) Season with salt and pepper
- 8) Brown almonds and sesame seeds in the oven or frying pan
- 9) When ready to serve, remove tagine from stove or oven and sprinkle the browned amonds and sesame seeds over the top
