Easy Crock Pot Moroccan Chicken, Chickpea and Apricot Tagine, This is one of my family’s favourite recipes; I am constantly asked all the time to make it. I was taught it by a Moroccan friend who also lives in France – it is an old family recipe passed down for many years. It is great all year around – served with flat breads or pitta breads & assorted salads in spring & summer or served with hot fluffy & fruity couscous, assorted chutneys or pickles in the depths of winter. I make mine in a fantastic “Electric Tagine” made by Tefal; it of course works in a more traditional clay tagine – BUT the real secret is…….it works like a dream in a Slow cooker/Crock Pot. Try it out! If you cannot get Ras-el-Hanout, which is an exotic Moroccan spice mixture, including rose petals – don’t worry, use the other spices I have listed instead; or I have a Ras-el-Hanout recipe posted on Recipezaar: Recipe #205185 N.B. I notice in a review that it has been suggested that Chemical Heat is needed!! The great thing about sharing recipes is that they can be adapted to personal taste. BUT, this is not supposed to be a “Hot” recipe, but a “Fragrant & Fruity” recipe!! A Tagine by definition is SLOW cooked over a LOW heat & is very fruity with subtle undertones of heat! However, life would be boring if you couldn’t add a bit of “heat”, but it’s just not traditional. What is traditional, is to allow your guests to add their own heat, so have a bowl of “Harissa” on the table. Preserved lemons are also a wonderful and traditional addition – I have a recipe posted on Recipezaar: Recipe #209590 PLEASE NOTE: This recipe lists canned chickpeas in the ingredients, NOT dried! If you use dried chickpeas, you MUST soak them and cook them first!, Do I add the chicken stock and everything after that to the frying pan/skillet? If so will that all fit in a regular pan, with the stock and tomatoes and everything? And how long do I cook that stuff in the pan?
