Morocco

Morocco (#18) Tajine B'Zeetoon (Moroccan Chicken with Olives)

I've been wanting to make a Moroccan dish for quite some time, and when I recently saw Morocco featured on Anthony Bourdain's "Parts Unknown", I knew I had to make a tajine and couscous.  This was a surprisingly easy dish to make and it was absolutely wonderful.  I sauteed onions and garlic, then added ginger, cinnamon, cumin, paprika and turmeric, and chicken broth and fresh squeezed lemon juice.  Place the chicken in the spice infused broth and simmer for an hour.  I added a combination of Manzanilla olives and Kalamatas during the last 10 minutes or so.  The couscous was made with sauteed shallots and dried apricots, and was the perfect accompaniment to the tajine.
