Ingredients

For this dish, it’s important the chicken is left on the bone as it has much more flavour and doesn’t become as dry. Ask your butcher to cut it into chunks for you. 

 

  • 1 whole chicken
  • 180g onion, diced
  • 1 clove garlic, chopped
  • 20g tagine spice (see recipe)
  • 40g honey
  • 80g dried apricots
  • 80g sultanas
  • 500ml chicken stock
  • 900g tomato passata
  • 1 lemon, juice only
  • 1 bunch fresh coriander
  • 70g flaked almonds, roasted

 

For the tagine spice mix:

  • 2 tsp ginger powder
  • 2 tsp turmeric
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp coriander powder
