Chicken Tagine with Apricots

A tajine dish is traditionally part of a meal with various courses. This dish is an easy and full meal with chicken, apricots and couscous.

Nice to know:
The tajine is a Moroccan, mostly earthenware pot that consists of a round plate and a high lit in the form of a cone. This form will help the dish to be steamed thoroughly, which will optimally mix all flavors. The earthenware slowly absorbs the heat and will retain the warmth for a long time. The tajine is very versatile. It can be used to prepare a dish in a short time. Meat, fish and vegetables can be grilled. Dishes can also be slowly stewed. The moisture that is released during the preparation will fall down in the round plate of the tajine, which will keep the ingredients juicy and the meat tender. This will also lead to a delicious sauce. The food can be served from the tajine. Because preparation in a tajine will maintain all juices and flavors, it is mostly a true sensation of flavors to open the tajine in presence of the guests.
