Ingredients
chicken legs4
onions2 small
garlic cloves2
vegetable oil2 tablespoon
ginger root1 piece
chicken broth2 cups
olives4 servings
preserved lemon1
harissa2 teaspoons
cumin2 teaspoons- ginger powder1 teaspoon
turmeric1 teaspoon
chilies3
cilantro4 servings
Instructions
Step 1
Add 1 tbsp vegetable oil to a pot.
Step 2
Saute the diced onions and garlic in the pot on low heat just to sweat the onions. While doing so, pan fry the chicken legs in a separate pan with another tbsp vegetable oil just to get a golden brown on both sides.
Step 3
Add the cumin, ginger and turmeric to the onions and garlic.
Step 4
Place the chicken legs side by side into the pot with the onions and add a light chicken broth (unsalted) just enough but not covering the chicken.
Step 5
Add the sliced preserved lemon and pitted green olives. The lemon is sour and salty so there is no need to add any salt to this dish.
Step 6
Let the broth reduce, add the harissa and stir. Turn the chicken over and spoon the sauce over the meat.When the chicken is cooked, garnish with chopped cilantro, dried whole chilis and sliced preserved lemon.I recommend serving this with couscous.
