The tagine method of cooking is a traditional slow-cooking technique, but we’ve taken the recipe and used a slow-cooker instead. Cooked for four hours, the chicken legs are tender and the chickpeas and sweet potato are infused with fresh tasting ginger, garlic and Moroccan flavours.

Ingredients

Olive oil

1 tbs

Brown onion

1 medium

Garlic

2 clove(s)

Fresh ginger

2 tsp

Parsnip

Canned chickpeas, rinsed and drained

1 400g can, (1 x 400g)

Baby spinach

60 g

Fresh coriander

⅓ cup(s)

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a medium non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Cook onion, stirring, for 5 minutes or until softened. Add garlic, ginger and seasoning and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Transfer to a 4.5L (18-cup) slow cooker.
  2. Add chicken to slow cooker and turn to coat in onion mixture. Add stock, sweet potato, parsnip and chickpeas. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours.
