CHICKEN TAGINE WITH POTATOES AND PEAS

6 chicken breasts
2 onions (thinly sliced)
2 garlic cloves (minced)
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 saffron threads
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1/4 cup parsley (finely chopped)
1/4 cup cilantro (finely chopped)
4 cup potatoes (diced bite-size)
2 cup green peas

In a large flameproof casserole, combine chicken, onions, garlic, oil, saffron, cumin, ginger pepper, paprika & salt, then cover with water, about 2 cups. Over medium-high heat, bring to a boil & cook, covered, for 30 minutes.
Add parsley, cilantro & potatoes, then cook, covered, another 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are nearly done.
Add peas, lower the heat & simmer for 5 minutes more.
If sauce is still runny, uncover the pan & boil hard until thickened, then taste & adjust seasoning, if necessary, before transferring to a preheated serving dish ~ Serve very hot with a good bread!

Tagine Thiebou Yapp (Senegal meet Morocco)!

2 kgs of rice (preferably broken rice)
1.5 kg Lamb chops
2 onions
5 garlic cloves
1 tablespoon ginger
Some peppers and Salt
1 tablespoon cube
A few chilli pepper (I skipped it, because of my kids)
2 tablespoons oil

Optional
1/4 cup almond
1/4 olives
1/4 cup Saffron water

Enough water to cook your rice (follow the manufacturer instruction) – I wash the rice for 15 mins

Chop onions, garlic, black pepper, salt, chilli and ginger (in the food processor).
Heat the oil and add the mixed seasoning mixture.

Then add the meat and cook for an hour.

The meat should cook well and get a nice color.
Adjust the seasoning with the cube if necessary, do not hesitate to taste, it is important!
Once the meat is cooked, remove and set asides.

Add the rice to the pan. Mix well. You will definitely need to add some water.
Cook for 45 minutes over low heat. Rice is cooked when it is soft and fluffy
(PS: if you choose to add the almond, olives and Saffron water watch the video for when to add them)

Serve with some yassa or pepper sauce
