Tajine Mit Huhn Und Sesam
Ingredients:
– 4 chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
– 1 onion, thinly sliced
– 2 cloves of garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1 teaspoon ground coriander
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
– 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
– 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
– 1/2 cup chicken broth
– 1/4 cup green olives, pitted
– 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
– Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
2. In a tajine or a large oven-safe skillet, heat some olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken thighs, skin-side down, and cook until golden brown, about 5-6 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the tajine and set aside.
3. In the same tajine, add a bit more olive oil if needed, then sauté the sliced onions until they start to soften, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
4. Stir in the ground cumin, coriander, cinnamon, ginger, turmeric, cayenne pepper, and cook for a minute until fragrant.
5. Add the diced tomatoes and chicken broth to the tajine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
6. Return the chicken thighs to the tajine, nestling them into the tomato mixture. Add the green olives around the chicken.
7. Cover the tajine and transfer it to the preheated oven. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
8. Remove the tajine from the oven and sprinkle the sesame seeds over the chicken.
9. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve the Tajine Mit Huhn Und Sesam hot with couscous or crusty bread to soak up the flavorful sauce.
