Chicken Tagine With Preserved Lemon and Potatoes image

A tagine is the Moroccan equivalent of a stew, usually fragrant with spices and often piquant with preserved lemon. The name also refers to the earthenware dish with a conical-shaped lid that the dish is usually cooked in but you can cook this in a pan on the stove top also, you will have more evaporation than with a tagine, so add the other 1/2 cup of water if you need it

This tagine was a bit too tangy for my taste. I would recommend using less preserved lemons if you don't like a strong tangy flavor.
