Ingredients
-
7 tablespoons olive oil, divided
-
2 onions, peeled and sliced
-
1 whole chicken, cut into pieces
-
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
-
1 teaspoon ground cumin
-
1 teaspoon ground coriander
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
3 cinnamon sticks
-
2 bay leaves, crushed
-
1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
-
2 tablespoons fresh ginger root, peeled and minced
-
½ cup water
-
2 tablespoons butter
-
2 pears, cored and sliced
-
2 tablespoons honey
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
Heat 2 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions; cook and stir until softened and browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer onions into a tagine pot. Layer chicken pieces on top of onions.
-
Combine turmeric, cumin, ground coriander, and salt in a small bowl; mix well with remaining 5 tablespoons olive oil. Spread spice mixture onto the chicken pieces. Add cinnamon pieces, bay leaves, ginger, and cilantro. Pour in 1/2 cup of water and cover tagine pot with a lid.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 50 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
-
Melt butter in a skillet over low heat while chicken is cooking. Add sliced pears and honey and cook, while stirring, until honey has caramelized.
-
Remove tagine from the oven and stir in caramelized pears. Return to the oven and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
