👨‍🍳 조리법

1
In a tagine or heavy-bottomed pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until softened and lightly golden, about 8-10 minutes.
💡 전문가 팁: Slow cooking the onions brings out their sweetness.
2
Add the minced garlic, turmeric, cumin, and cinnamon. Stir and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
3
Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Add them to the pot and brown on all sides.
💡 전문가 팁: Browning the chicken adds depth of flavor.
4
Pour in the chicken stock and the saffron with its soaking water. Bring to a simmer.
💡 전문가 팁: Ensure the liquid covers about two-thirds of the chicken.
5
Add the pitted prunes. Cover the tagine or pot and simmer gently over low heat for about 1 hour, or until the chicken is tender.
💡 전문가 팁: Check periodically and add a little more stock or water if it becomes too dry.
6
Stir in the honey and continue to cook, uncovered, for another 15-20 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
💡 전문가 팁: Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if needed.
7
Garnish with fresh chopped coriander and toasted slivered almonds, if using. Serve hot with couscous or crusty bread.
💡 전문가 팁: The sauce is perfect for soaking up with bread.

💡 전문가 팁

✓For a richer flavor, marinate the chicken with the spices for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
✓If you don't have a tagine pot, a Dutch oven or a heavy-bottomed casserole dish with a tight-fitting lid will work well.
✓Adjust the amount of spices to your preference. Some recipes include a pinch of ginger or cayenne pepper for a little heat.
