Plain couscous will work great to soak up all the chicken tagine sauce but you could also make this olive and lemon version. Alternatively, serve with Moroccan bread (great for dipping) and this Moroccan-style salad with spiced carrots.
Can I freeze chicken tagine?
Yes, you can easily freeze this chicken tagine. Divide leftovers into portions and place in labeled, freezer-safe containers. To thaw chicken tagine, place in a fridge overnight and then reheat in a microwave until steaming hot.
What can I use instead of a tagine?
Just like we did in this recipe, you can use any large saucepan or a casserole dish to make chicken tagine as long as it comes with a tight-fitting lid. You could also use a Dutch oven.
Where can I buy a tagine?
Amazon Australia stocks an extensive range of tagines. We also love this tagine range from Myer by Emile Henry - use them directly on cooktops (except induction) or in the oven.
Is tagine cooking healthy?
Because tagine dashes are essentially gently stewed and aren't made with much oil, they can definitely be healthy, although this of course depends on what exactly you put in them. Generally speaking, tagine dishes are loaded with legumes, pulses and vegetables, and often some kind of a meat protein, which makes them a nutritious meal full of fibre and vitamins. If you're after a super healthy tagine, check out this vegetable tagine with apricots which scores 9.1 on the health score meter or this chicken tagine with couscous which scores 8.9.
