Method
- Heat the oil in a large casserole dish and brown the chicken on each side, remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- Stir in the onion and cook for a few mins to soften before adding the garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander and cinnamon. Cook for 1 min more then add the juice and stock, stirring well.
- Return the chicken back to the pan along with the apricots and figs and bring to the boil. Turn down to a low simmer, cover with a lid and cook for a further 30 mins until the chicken is cooked through with no pink showing.
- Once the tagine is cooked, remove from the pan and scatter over the fresh pomegranate and coriander. Serve with couscous.
