Tagine
Chicken tagine is one of my favorite recipes- a traditional Moroccan dish of chicken pieces cooked with spices, garlic, and onion. It’s a crowd pleaser, yet easy enough to throw together on a not-too-busy weeknight. The word tagine refers to the shallow clay vessel with a cone-shaped lid in which the dish is traditionally cooked. The recipe is easy enough that you don't require the clay cooking tool to make it. A large cast-iron pot, a wide Dutch oven, or a heavy covered skillet will work too.
