Chicken tagine with cumin

Do you like the Arabic cuisine? If so, you are in luck, because today I bring you a tajine very rich and very easy to make. Tajine (pronounced "tayin") is called the clay-based container and conical lid in which it is cooked, but also the recipe itself is called a tajine.

Degree of difficulty: Very easy

Preparation time: 40 minutes

Ingredients for 4 people:

• Medium chicken chopped up

• 6 or 7 potatoes

• 2 tablespoons of Comino

• 4 teeth of Garlic it

• 2 tablespoons of olive oil

• 1 sachet of food coloring (or some strands of saffron)

• Sal Island

• 1 glass of water

Preparation:

Clean the chicken and place it in a container. In a glass add the Comino, shawl, the teeth of it crushed, the olive oil and food coloring. Mix everything well and add it to the chicken, trying to get it well impregnated. Ideally, leave it in the fridge for half an hour so that it takes better flavor, but this time I did not do it because I was in a hurry. If you have time you can do it.

put the tajine over low heat and, when hot, add the chicken. Once it has taken a little color, add a glass of water (the same glass that you used to make the sauce mixture, so you take advantage of what may have been left). When the water starts to boil, place the potatoes cut into cubes and cover the tagine. Let it cook for about 30 minutes (until the chicken is done to your liking).

And you are ready cumin chicken tagine.

When serving ...

The tajine is served as is on the table, the lid is removed and from there they all eat (each one in its part) with the help of the pan, that is, without a fork and without having to distribute each one on their plate.

Recipe suggestions:

Potatoes could have been served too fried in a separate plate instead of cooked in the tajine.

The best…

It does not matter if 4, 10 or 20 people eat. Since everyone will eat the tajine with the help of bread, then you will not have a mountain of plates and cutlery to clean. It is a big advantage!.
