Ingredients

(this recipe cannot be made with fresh lemons, if it is it will be different entirely)

2-3 Tbsp Olive Oil

1 Red Onion, sliced

3 Cloves Garlic, crushed

Salt and Pepper

3/4 tsp Ginger, ground

1 1/2 tsp Cinnamon, ground

Large pinch of Saffron threads (lightly toasted and crushed)

1 Large Chicken

3 Cups Water or Chicken Broth (broth is better)

1/2 cup Kalamata Olives

1 Large bunch Cilantro chopped

1 Large bunch Parsley chopped

1 Preserved Lemon in salt rinsed and chopped

Directions

Heat oil in a pan.fry onion until golden meanwhile in mortar crush garlic with a pinch of salt then work in saffron, ginger, cinnamon and pepper. Stir into onions, cook until fragrant, then spread over the chicken.

Put the chicken in a heavy saucepan or flameproof casserole so it fits snugly, add water or broth and bring to simmering point. Cover and simmer 1 1/4 hours turning over chicken 2-3 times.

Add the olives, preserved lemon and herbs, cover again and cook for 15 min or so until the chicken is very tender. Taste the sauce if the flavor needs to be more concentrated, transfer chicken to a warm shallow serving dish, cover and keep warm, then reduce the cooking juices to a rich sauce. tilt the pan and skim off surplus fat, if like, then pour over chicken.
