Time 4h57m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

¼ cup olive oil, or to taste
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 large chicken thighs
2 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed
1 white onion, chopped
2 cups water, or as needed
16 saffron threads
½ preserved lemon, pulp discarded and thinly sliced
¼ cup olives, or to taste
2 artichoke bottoms, chopped
¼ cup coarsely chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Whisk 1/4 cup olive oil, garlic, turmeric, cumin seeds, salt, and pepper together in a bowl and pour into a resealable plastic bag or container. Add chicken, coat with the paste and seal bag or container. Marinate in the refrigerator, 4 hours to overnight.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook and stir until soft and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove chicken from marinade, discarding marinade. Add chicken thighs skin-side down to stockpot and cook until browned, about 4 minutes. Flip chicken thighs and cook until browned on second side, about 3 minutes more.
  • Lower heat to medium and add water to cover chicken halfway, cover stockpot, and cook for 20 minutes. Uncover stockpot, sprinkle saffron threads onto chicken, and top with preserved lemon slices. Replace cover and cook until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and juices run clear, about 5 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Uncover stockpot and transfer chicken to a serving platter.
  • Continue simmering liquid in stockpot until thickened to sauce consistency, 5 to 7 minutes. Spoon sauce over chicken; top with olives, artichokes, and parsley.

MOROCCAN CHICKEN WITH PRESERVED LEMONS



Moroccan Chicken with Preserved Lemons image

Provided by Food Network

Yield 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 small whole chickens, about 21/2 lbs each, giblets reserved
1 lemon, quartered
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup chopped cilantro
1/3 cup minced parsley
2 Tbsp minced garlic
1 Tbsp powdered ginger
1/4 tsp saffron threads
1 preserved lemon, cut into small pieces
cup olive oil
2 large onions, thinly sliced
1 Tbsp paprika
2 Tbsp butter
1 cup black or violet olives
Preserved lemon peel, for garnish

Steps:

  • Remove excess fat from chicken, rinse well inside and out and pat dry. Rub chickens with lemon inside and out and under skin of breasts. Rub with sea salt and set aside to marinate in a nonreactive baking dish, covered and refrigerated, overnight. Next day, rinse chickens again and pat dry.
  • In a flameproof casserole large enough to hold both chickens combine cilantro, parsley, garlic, ginger, saffron, preserved lemon and pepper to taste. Add 1/4 cup water and chickens, turning to coat thoroughly, and rubbing some of the mixture inside. Add reserved giblets, except livers. Pour oil over and bring to a simmer over low heat. When chicken begins to sizzle, add onions, cover and cook for 30 minutes. Add livers and paprika and continue to cook, covered, 1 hour more.
  • Remove chickens to a carving board and let rest, covered loosely with foil, while you finish the sauce. Cut giblets into small pieces and return to sauce. Using a fork, crush livers into sauce to thicken. Sauce should be thick -- if it is thin, boil until reduced and thickened. Add butter and olives. Heat, swirling pan, until sauce is emulsified. To serve, cut chickens into quarters and arrange on a warmed platter. Spoon sauce over and garnish with lemon peel.

MOROCCAN CHICKEN WITH PRESERVED LEMONS AND COUSCOUS



Moroccan Chicken With Preserved Lemons and Couscous image

One glance at the ingredients for this recipe and I knew it was, for me, a must-try recipe. I also loved the inclusion of time for marinating the chicken. Marinating always makes SUCH a difference to the end result. I'll be making this without the red chilli, but I'm well aware that many others will probably want to increase the heat. C'est la vie! I'd also prefer to serve it with a rice dish rather than couscous. I found this recipe in the latest edition - May 2005 - of the 'Australian Good Taste' magazine.

MOROCCAN CHICKEN KABOBS



Moroccan Chicken Kabobs image

From my 100 Best Classic Tapas cookbook -- sounds so easy yet really flavorful. Prep time does not include marinating time in refrigerator.

Provided by DailyInspiration

Categories     Very Low Carbs

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb chicken breast fillet
3 tablespoons Spanish olive oil (plus extra for oiling)
1 lemon, juice of
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon hot smoked paprika (or sweet)
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
salt
fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Steps:

  • Cut the chicken into 1-inch cubes and place in a large, shallow, nonmetallic dish. Put all the remaining ingredients, except parsley, in a bowl and whisk together. Pour the marinade over the chicken cubes and toss the meat in the marinade until well coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight, turning the chicken 2-3 times if possible.
  • If using wooden skewers, soak the skewers in cold water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning and to keep food from sticking. If using metal skewers, lightly brush with oil. Preheat the broiler or grill pan. Remove the chicken pieces from the marinade, reserving the remaining marinade and thread an equal quantity onto each prepared skewer leaving a little space between each piece.
  • Brush the broiler rack or grill pan with a little oil. Add the kabobs and cook, turning frequently and brushing with the reserved marinade halfway through cooking, for 15 minutes or until browned on all sides, tender, and cooked through. Serve hot, sprinkled with chopped parsley to garnish.
