Which was promptly smothered in cilantro as god intended.

      I’m awful for following a recipe. Unfortunately I just looked at a handful of recipes for "apricot chicken tagine"to look for the right kind of spices and the tequnique. And I think I just decided to add almonds. Here’s basically what I did, though:

      Essentially, you soak the tagine for a little while to allow it to absorb some water, and mis en place all your other ingredients. Marinate some chicken, sauté 2 med (thinly sliced) onions in a pan with some eevo until translucent and starting to brown.

      Layer the onions on the bottom of the tagine. Add marinated chicken thigh pieces, dried apricots, lightly toasted almonds, repeat, then pour a little chicken broth in so the onions don’t burn.

      Bake for 35-45 min or until the chicken is cooked through. We added some garlic slices, but they didn’t cook fast enough and were a little overpowering, so… I wouldn’t do that again. I’d add some crushed garlic to the marinade instead, next time.

    This looks so good! I got a tagine for my birthday last year but haven’t used it as much as I might like because I don’t cook meat and most recipes are for meat dishes. It works really well to cook lentils though.

      I would think of it as just a terra-cotta pot- something to bake and steam whatever your imagination can come up with! :) I feel like it would do a mean potato and onion dish…
