The combination of ginger, cinnamon, prunes and honey gives this tagine that taste of Morocco. Serve this one-pot meal with a crispy salad and bread to mop up the juices.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
20 baby onions
750g sweet potato
1 carrot
1 tablespoon ginger
12 pitted prunes
1 teaspoon cinnamon
freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon honey
375ml chicken or vegetable stock
4 chicken breast fillets
2 tablespoons fresh coriander
2 tablespoons fresh mint
Method
Preheat the oven to 180°C
Heat the oil in a large flameproof casserole dish over low heat, add the onions and cook for 5 minutes, or until the onions are soft and golden.
Add the sweet potatoes and carrots (cut into bite sized chunks), and grated ginger and cook for a further 5 minutes, or until the vegetables start to colour a little.
Stir in the prunes, cinnamon and honey. Allow to heat through, then pour in the stock and season with pepper.
Lay the quartered chicken pieces in the liquid, then cover the dish and cook in the oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Stir in chopped coriander and mint and serve.
