On Saturday April 12th, local residents Abdel and Benôit held a tajine making workshop at Agrocité!
The day begun at 10am with headchefs teaching us the chopping, ordering and flavouring of tajine construction. At around 11.30am we prepared a barbeque of sorts, from reclaimed materials, and set them cooking until 2pm while we all sat around and watched, chatted and played in the garden.
Six tajines were made and shared between over 20 people. It was a beautiful spring saturday full of sunshine and happy bellies.
Ingredients and method:
In a large bowl mix together chicken wings (around 5 wings per tajine), a long drizzle of olive oil, chopped onion, garlic, fresh coriander, ground coriander, cumin, paprika and salt. Mix it with your hands until the chicken is well covered in spices.
Arrange the chicken in tajine base in a circular pattern, fanning outwards.
Chop into long shards potato, carrot, green and red capsicum. Arrange on the chicken fanning in a similar fashion (see pictures). Follow with the tomato.
Sprinkle a couple of handfuls of raisins, a handful of olives, fresh coriander, some of the spice mix and four prunes on top.
Put the lid on the tajine and cook until juicy and tender, check to be sure the chicken is cooked.
Enjoy!
