This savoury – sweet chicken tagine with onions and raisins is a classic of Moroccan cuisine. It’s really delicious, easy to make and doesn’t require a lot of ingredients.
The tagine is a staple of Moroccan cuisine. Its name actually designates both the cooked dish and the earthenware pot in which the food is cooked.
The secret to get a delicious tagine it’s not only the choice of the ingredients but above all it’s the cooking time. So please forget all recipes that offer quick and express tagines. This kind of dishes should be cooked for a long time and simmer gently until the veggies are very tenders and the meat falls apart. Try to plan this Moroccan chicken tagine with onions and raisins for the weekends and know that once the cooking has started, you have nothing else to do.
Here you will find other sweet and savory tagine recipes: “Sweet – savory Moroccan chicken tagine with caramelized apricots, almonds & orange blossom” as well as this seasonal tagine that I particularly like “lamb tagine with caramelized quinces”.
If you can’t find a traditional Moroccan tagine, opt for the “Émile Henry tagine” or simply use a cast iron casserole.

At the end you suggest ‘drizzle with olive oil (1Tbsp (teaspoon))… do you mean 1 tablespoon or 1 teaspoon or doesn’t it matter which?
The recipe sounds great!
