ABOUT THIS RECIPE:
Chicken tagine with onions and tomatoes is an easy and practical one-pot meal. It is not only quick to make, but it tastes incredibly delicious as well.
This tagine can be made with chicken or red meat, which is slowly braised with onions and spices, then topped with a mountain of onions and tomatoes that are cooked until they become soft and jammy.
Unlike most tagines, the Makfoul is not made with strong ingredients such as garlic and cilantro. It is instead lightly spiced with cinnamon, ginger and turmeric. A touch of sugar is added to cut the acidity of the tomatoes and help caramelize them.
In Marrakech, this tagine is called "Makfoul," which means closed or locked in Arabic. This refers to the fact that the protein (chicken in this course) is covered with jammy onions and tomatoes. You can replace the chicken in this recipe with turkey, lamb, beef, or goat meat.
Ingredients:
For the chicken
1 large white onion
2 chicken breasts and 2 chicken thighs
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
For the Makfoul
3 large white onions
3 large tomatoes
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 heaping tablespoon white granulated sugar
Steps:
Step 1: Preparing the chicken
1- Peel the onion and rinse it.
2- Slice the onion, then place it in the tagine.
Note: If you do not have a tagine, you can use a heavy pot or a pressure cooker, but note that you will need to add water to the pot as needed to prevent the chicken from drying out and burning.
3- Add the chicken to the tagine.
4- Season with turmeric, pepper, ginger, cinnamon, and salt.
5- Add the oil, then cover the tagine and saute the chicken for 5 minutes on each side.
Step 2: Preparing the Makfoul tagine
1- Peel and rinse the onions.
2- Cut the onions into 1/2cm (1/4 in) rings.
3- Wash the tomatoes, then slice them into 1/2cm (1/4 in) rings.
4- Place the onion rings on top of the chicken making sure to cover the entire surface of the tagine.
5- Season the onions with ginger, turmeric, pepper, salt, and cinnamon.
6- Cover the tagine and cook for 30 minutes or until the chicken is almost cooked and the onions have nicely softened.
7- Uncover the tagine, then place the tomatoes on top of the onions.
8- Season the tomatoes with cinnamon and sugar.
9- Cover the tagine once again and allow the tomatoes to cook and soften (about 15 minutes).
Note: To prevent the sauce from spilling out of the tagine, you can place a tablespoon between the tagine pot and lid.
10- Serve the Makfoul tagine hot with Moroccan bread.
