This typical Moroccan stew is made from prime chicken meat braised in an aromatic tomato broth together with vegetables, chickpeas, raisins, olives and almonds, and is full of the seductive fragrances of Maghreb spices. A delicious indulgence cooked in a tagine – a Moroccan earthenware braising pot. It can also be made in a normal Dutch oven.
