Spicy Stews
Rub all pieces of chicken with a mixture of salt, pepper and cumin. Let stand for 1 hour.
In a separate saucepan, cover the prunes with cold water and add the cinnamon. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 10 -30 minutes depending on dryness of prunes.
Steam the onions in the casserole with the turmeric, saffron, ginger, salt, pepper and ¼ cup of water for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile brown the almonds in a saucepan with oil and drain onto paper towels.
Using the same oil and pan, brown chicken on all sides then transfer to the steamed onions and add 1 cup water. (this can be transferred into the tagine at this point and placed in oven ). Cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
Add the cooked prunes and some of the prune water to the tagine and continue cooking until the chicken and prunes are really tender.
To serve, place chicken pieces on a serving dish (or simply leave in the tagine). Cover with prunes and sauce, then sprinkle with almonds and sesame seeds (if desired).

Answer 3

This dish is a traditional Moroccan tagine. Because it is sweet and it includes dates, it is often served when a family has company over.
For 3 people

½ kilo of a shoulder of lamb
250 grams of dried prunes (around 30 prunes)
6 dates (pitted)
one big red onion, sliced
200 grams of roasted almonds
one cinnamon stick
one pinch of ginger
one pinch of saffron (pistils)
one pinch of salt (or to taste)
one pinch of pepper (or to taste)
Wash the prunes and put them in one liter of water. Let them sit. Put ginger, saffron, and lamb in a big pot. Cook on medium flame. Mix for one minute. Add olive oil and onion. Leave for 5 minutes. Add salt and pepper. Take the prunes out of the water and put them aside. Keep the water! Pour it into the pot with the lamb. Let the meat cook for 1 ½ hours (or however long it takes to cook) on a medium flame. *You can also leave it on a low flame and let it cook longer. Add the prunes and dates in the last 15 minutes.

Answer 4

Not off hand... but I know that you do need the special pot to make it right. Do you have one? The recipie you can get anywhere just from googling it.

Answer 5

The recipes are more or less correct. Tajine refers to the pot, not to the food. Don't forget the cous-cous!
