Chicken with prunes, apricots and honey image

I found this in a magazine, but I have changed a few things to suit our tastes. We usually have this over cous cous, with a couple of Moroccan salads that I plan to post seperately.

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/2 kg chicken pieces (we get "lovely legs" which are skinless drumsticks with the knuckle end cut off)
60 ml olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 pinch saffron thread
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
375 ml chicken stock
125 ml honey
125 g pitted prunes
125 g dried apricots, chopped
3 teaspoons sesame seeds
30 g butter
80 g blanched almonds
1 tablespoon thinly sliced preserved lemon (I probably use double this, because I love it so much. And I use lemon zest if I've run out!)

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large pan, and brown the chicken pieces in batches.
  • Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the oil, and add the onion, cooking and stirring until soft.
  • Stir in the spices and cook for 1 minute.
  • Return the chicken to the pan, and toss to coat in the onion mixture.
  • Add the stock and simmer, covered for 30 minutes or until the chicken is tender.
  • Remove the chicken pieces from the pan; cover to keep warm.
  • Add the honey, prunes and apricots to the pan, then simmer, uncovered, for about 10 minutes or until the sauce thickens slightly.
  • Meanwhile, put sesame seeds in a small heated pan and cook, stirring over a medium heat until browned.
  • Remove the seeds.
  • Melt the butter in the same pan and cook almonsd, stirring until lightly browned.
  • Return the chicken to the sauce, and cook covered until the chicken is hot.
  • Serve sprinkled with sesame seeds, almonds and preserved lemon.
