Ate at this chef's Michelin starred restaurant last night and it was practically a religious experience. I've eaten at some truly amazing restaurants, and his was probably the best of the bunch so far. Exceptional.

I am surprised by his innovative style. it's a different take from the original Moroccan recipes that I grew up enjoying, but it seems to be quite original and I am sure very tasty. I will try it for sure.

I was a little sceptical at first, seeing a big time chef make the dish, as homemade tagine is the best. but i'm pleasantly surprised he made it very easily and all humbly with a table spoon . well done and thank you

I love Moroccan tagine 😋😋😋🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦💚♥️👌

How fabulous to have such a talented chef here teaching us an easy chicken with olive tagine(stew) that I already know is delicious. Thank you for posting this! Big fan of Chef Mourad! Much love

Master Mourad. We are all privileged to be in your company

I like this method of browning the chicken and the onions before putting it together to cook. Great video...So easy to follow...beautiful chef...Thank you!!

I've made this a number of times and it's delicious.

I make this all the time. It's great! If you don't have preserved lemons it's also great with fresh lemon but you put the fresh lemon in before the oven to soften and cook.

I’ve made this several times. It’s the best thing I make and really makes me look like I’m a pro in the kitchen. I’ve made this dish the traditional way too but I prefer this method with the browning ahead of the blending of ingredients. So much better. Thanks again I’ve shared this video with everyone I know that enjoys cooking.

well done chef mourad,.great approach!

this is super! thanks for sharing!

Definitely making this for dinner with Dad, forgot to get the lemon but i'll order it for next time. Thank you!

I definitely am convinced that because you fry the onions and meat before adding it into the tagine, it enhances the taste!

Not really, for traditional moroccan tagines the browning WILL happen at the end of the cooking regardless. Since they're cooked on direct fires or coals. The whole bottom of the tagine will brown, and its a very prized part of the tajine, you drag your piece of bread along that crusty-caramelized-onion-bottom of the tagine, and it just leaves the best end note. Sweet and charred. It's a favorite, a bit like browned rice at the bottom of the pot in korea or iran. So no, we do not brown our proteins and onions, it damages the colors of the end dish that turn into brownish greys instead of bright greens, oranges and yellows (thanks to the Moroccan Saffron and turmeric), and could also tear the chicken if served skinless. It's also a loss of flavor, believe it or not, those fumes evaporating away from the onions as you brown them are better locked into the tagine. It's a whole science that we've been perfecting for thousands of years.

@TonyM9

Жыл бұрын

You probably could as long as it has a well fitting cover. But you may need to baste it a few times while it cooks. One of the reasons for using a tagine is that it self bastes the food as it cooks. The steam condenses in the top of the conical lid and drips back down on the meat. With a regular cover the moisture will roll down to the edges back in to the pot but not land on the food directly from the top.

Moroccan tajine is so delicious :)

Do you eat that as is or with rice or and other something?

We dont use ghee in our cooking. Fat (poultry or beef or sheep) is more traditional, along with olive oil obviously. We end it with a heafty spoonful of S'men (salted aged Moroccan butter, it smells a lot like Roquefort Cheese when it's ripe) that adds that bit of Umami funkiness at the end

@@badjujuwan but never heat it up empty. Keep it very gentle throughout. The clay ovens use different temperatures. If it was baked at a very high temperature, your stove won't so much damage to it, but if its raw clay, you'll need to soak the tagine in water for a couple of days (in a big tub), or season it with duck or sheep fat (or schmaltz) over a very low heat, until it can absorb fat no more. The first time you use it, make sure there's always something in the tagine, it lowers the temperatures to safe degrees to ensure it doesnt crack on you. Always keep your flames at a minimum. The great thing about moroccan tagines is that it's a set it and forget it type of dish. Just put everything in it, no water needed, dont forget the salt. Shut it, and cook it on the lowest flame possible (you need to physically crank it down) it should never boil, but baaaaaarely simmer. And set it for two hours.

@@wendyannh If you are a full-time RVer then I'm surprised you haven't considered the camp dutch oven. I think there is debate about whether or not the tagine, the DO, or the pressure cooker would make the dish taste any different. I'm getting one because Covid-19 is making me think about frontier style living. Also, it's kind of exotic and the clay is supposed to impart some natural flavors to the dish. They do have this thing called a majmar which is a clay fire pit which is designed to use the tagine outside or on the Moroccan streets. It's very similar to a dutch oven in this respect, provided you watch your temperature.

I order it online. Amazon has duck fat in a gallon tub for $25 US. You can keep it in the refrigerator for over a year with no problem, or break it into smaller containers and freeze them and it keeps for years. But honestly, once you start cooking with duck fat you will probably start using it for lots of things and it won’t last that long 😊

I too was using the original recipe and put it all in one pot and let it cook, including preserved lemons, but I am hooked on the Chefs version because the flavors are even more pronounced using his methods. That's why he is a professional. Keep up the great videos Chef! I appreciate your efforts to share them with us.

He clearly stated that this wasn’t traditionally how it is done, but that he was doing it this way to add more depth to the flavor. He is basically using a braising method or dry / wet cooking where you brown the meat first and then slow cook it in liquid. Braising is a good way to add more flavor to cooked meats. I would get all the criticism if he had tried to present this as a traditional method, but he was very clear that he wasn’t and that this was his own take on it.
