Yes, Morocco is a long way to go for Chicken ... and I'm sure there are not too many planning to go there this month! Of course if you are, I wish you a great visit, because Morocco is a gateway to Africa and a country of dizzying diversity. Here you'll find epic mountain ranges, ancient cities, sweeping deserts – and warm hospitality...
But Jan, I hear you asking, why are you talking about Morocco? The reason is this recipe idea (you know me and recipe ideas, lol) it's for Moroccan inspired Chicken ... a tasty and delicious casserole.
Serves Four
1 tbsp. olive oil
8 skin-on and bone-in chicken thighs
2 onions, halved and cut into wedges
500g baby Chantenay carrots, trimmed
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1½ tbsp. harissa spice mix (from a jar)
3-4 preserved lemons, drained and sliced
3 tbsp. pitted green olives
500ml chicken stock
Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C, fan 160°C, gas 4. Heat the oil in a casserole and brown the chicken in batches.
2. Soften the onion and carrots in the casserole for 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, then stir in the spice mix. Return the chicken to the pan, putting it on top of the vegetables, skin-side up. Add the preserved lemons and olives, then pour over the stock. Bring to the boil. Cover and cook in the oven for about 45 minutes until the chicken thighs are cooked through. Check the seasoning and serve.

Sounds wonderful. We have a Maroccan restaurant here and their food is fantastic. Valerie
...it sure is!
It looks great and I'm sure it will taste great as well.
I imagine harissa could get spicy.
I am a big fan of Middle Eastern food and spice combinations.
PS: While I think of it, I made and used the tahini drizzle you featured recently last night. Major yum. Thank you.

Yum, it looks delicious, though I'd leave the olives out.
Looks and sounds delicious, similar to what I make, probably many of us. Always good to have a different recipe for a few ingredients can make such a difference.
