I have been a bit uninspired in the kitchen of late (yes, it happens to us all). I’ve been cooking, just nothing terribly interesting.
However, I did have this one in my drafts folder, and thought it worthy of a post. I love Moroccan food, and we even lugged a tagine home from Morocco in our carry-on luggage! So, I gave the tagine a soak overnight and we made this dish the following day: Chicken tagine with preserved lemon and green olives.
Serve with cous cous.
A note about preserved lemons – we used lemons preserved by J’s sister. I have yet to preserve my own (limited pantry space at the moment – once we move and summer arrives stay tuned for some serious jamming and preserving!), however I understand it is incredibly easy. Here’s an easy recipe from Poh’s Kitchen.

I know what you mean about feeling uninspired- I have a fridge full of ingredients and nothing it jumping out at me. Except the limes – which I made lime cordial with.
Yum lime cordial! How refreshing…
ooooh delicious! I want to to make some although I don’t have a tagine
Do you think i could just use a saucepan instead? I would need to alter the cooking times i suppose..
I think if you have a dutch oven or a casserole pot that can go in the oven that would work well. It was delicious!
