Recipe Moroccan chicken tagine

[Herbaceous]

This recipe is super yummy and incredibly easy as long as you’ve got a slow cooker. Serve it over rice, or on its own. Adapted from Skinnytaste.

Ingredients:

8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
4 medium carrots, peeled and sliced into rounds
1 onion, chopped
1/3 cup dried fruit - I usually use apricots, but you can use prunes or even raisins
1/2 cup green olives
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp all-purpose flour (you can use gluten-free)
2 tsp paprika
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 cup liquid - you can use chicken stock, veggie stock, or beer. Water will work in a pinch but the dish won’t be as flavorful.
Salt & pepper to taste

Directions:

Throw everything in your slow cooker and cook on low for 6 hours. Could not be easier.

Love that. The easier it is, the better it tastes.

I love a good Tagine. It’s really hard to screw it up and is such a nice one pot style dish. Looks great!

Loving the layers of ginger and the spices, and the olives cooked within! I don't have a slow cooker. I am wondering if it could be dubbed in just a pot, what would it do to the cooking time...adding liquid possibly...anyways, very well done!

Well it's loaded into the slow cooker and in 6 hours time hopefully it will have done the do!
There's a bit of deviation as Mr SSOAP kindly did the hunter gathering.

He said there were no dried apricots (hard to believe as you can literally get a ferry to Morocco down the road a bit from here) but he did bring back cranberries! So kudos to him for understanding what was being cooked (he doesn't cook) and finding a reasonable sub.
There were no chicken thighs so we have four large chicken legs and for the olives he brought back anchovy stuffed ones which I think will be good as the anchovy should melt away and add to the flavour

It's only the second time I've cooked in 6 days and this time like the last involves slinging ingredients in the slow cooker and letting it work it's magic so fingers crossed! I'll report back later

Mine turned out a lot darker but that might be the cranberries effecting the colour or it could be that it was given a very long slow cook, then fridged for two days and then slow cooked again for three hours to reheat it.

It's even darker IRL!

It was delicious, I would use cranberries again. It has made it onto my easy lazy food list

So glad you liked it, SandwichShortOfAPicnic! I haven’t made it with cranberries before, but I might give it a try now!

I liked the bit where I didn't have to chop apricot, super lazy!

And Mr SSOAP who doesn't like olives much loved it!
