Moroccan Chicken With Lemon And Olives

2 tsp paprika

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp ground ginger

1 tsp turmeric

½ tsp cinnamon

¼ tsp freshly ground pepper

2 Tbs olive oil

1 ½ kg chicken thighs

salt, to taste

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 onion, chopped

peel of 1 lemon

1 cup green olives, pitted

½ cup water

½ cup raisins

¼ cup chopped fresh coriander

¼ cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

1

Combine all the spices in a large bowl. Pat dry the chicken pieces and put in the bowl, coat well with the spice mixture. Let the chicken stand for one hour in the spices.

2

In a large, heavy bottomed skillet, heat the olive oil on medium high heat. Add the chicken pieces, sprinkle lightly with salt (go easy on the salt, the olives and lemons are salty), and brown, skin side down for five minutes. Lower the heat to medium-low, add the garlic and onions. Cover and let cook for 15 minutes.

3

Turn chicken pieces over. Add the lemon slices, olives, raisins, and ½ cup water. Bring to a simmer on medium heat, then lower the heat to low, cover, and cook for an additional 30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and quite tender.

4

Mix in fresh parsley and coriander just before serving. Adjust seasonings to taste.
