Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Prep and brown the chicken
- Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel; season generously with salt and pepper and the tagine spice blend.
In a large sauce pot over medium heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the chicken and cook, turning frequently, until browned but not yet cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Do not clean the pot.
2
Prep the remaining ingredients
- Peel and thinly slice enough onion to measure 1 cup [2 cups].
- Thinly slice the artichokes lengthwise.
- Remove any pulp from the preserved lemon; thinly slice the peel.
3
Start the tagine
In the same pot used for the chicken, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion starts to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and cook until starting to caramelize, 1 to 2 minutes.
Add the chicken and any accumulated juices, tomatoes, and 1½ cups [2¼ cups] water and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened, 10 to 12 minutes.
4
Finish the tagine
To the pot with the chicken, stir in the artichokes and spinach (the spinach in batches if needed) and simmer over medium heat until the artichokes are heated through and the spinach is just wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the preserved lemon, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve
Set the tagine on the table and invite everyone to serve themselves.
