Garlic

2 clove(s), crushed

Fresh ginger

2 tsp, finely grated

Ground cumin

2 tsp

Dried coriander

2 tsp

Canned diced tomatoes

Instructions

  1. Heat half the oil in a large non-stick saucepan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook, stirring, for 2–3 minutes or until golden. Transfer to a plate. Add remaining oil and onion and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until softened. Add garlic, ginger, ground cumin and coriander and cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until fragrant.

Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Serve tagine with Lebanese bread.
