Chicken Tagine with Preserved Lemons and Walnut Chermoula

April 3, 2016 by LeRoy Leave a Comment

My Saturday morning routine is to may breakfast and enjoy it with my wife.  Then I retire to my cave and answer emails while watching cooking shows.  Some of my favorites are

  • America’s Test Kitchen
  • New Scandinavian Cooking
  • Good Eats
  • Jacques Pépin

I have recently found the show “Joanne Weir Gets Fresh“.  This recipe for Chicken Tagine with Preserved Lemons and Walnut Chermoula aired today was this one and I had to try it.

I cut the recipe down for smaller servings as it is usually only my wife and I eating.

The bad news is that her recipe for Preserved Lemons takes a month to prepare.  The good news is that she showed how to make them in a hurry.  If you don’t have the patience to wait for a month, try this recipe.
