- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- ½ preserved lemon, rind only, rinsed and finely sliced 2 onions, chopped
- ½ small red chilli
- 1 tablespoon sweet paprika
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin

- SaltMETHOD
- Combine the marinade ingredients in a food processor and blend until finely chopped and thoroughly combined. Leave for 30 minutes before using (or you can make this up to 7 days in advance and store it in the refrigerator).
- Wash and dry the chicken. Place in a bowl and rub with half of the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or ideally overnight.
- Combine the chopped tomato and onion with a little more marinade and spread over the base of a tagine (this will prevent the chicken from burning on the base). Arrange the chicken pieces in the centre of the tagine. Coat the potato wedges in a little more marinade and arrange around the chicken. Top with the sliced onion, then the sliced tomato, and push the olives into the gaps.
- Combine the remaining marinade with the coriander and water, then pour over the top. Decorate with preserved lemon wedges.
- Cover the tagine with the lid and cook over a very low heat on the stove for 45 minutes. Don't stir or lift the lid during cooking.
- Take the tagine to the table and serve with couscous.
