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.
