Method

THANKS TO THE SPICE PIONEER FOR ALLOWING US TO SHARE HIS RECIPE:

Step 1

Heat the oil in a tagine, or heavy-based pan. Stir in the onion until it begins to soften.

Step 2

Add the ginger, garlic, cumin seeds and cinnamon and cook for 2 minutes, then toss in the chicken thighs and brown them on both sides.

Step 3

Add the ras el-hanout, apricots and honey. Stir in the tomatoes with their juice. Add a little water so that the liquid comes halfway up the thighs.

Step 4

Bring the liquid to the boil, then reduce the heat and cover with a lid. Cook gently for 35 minutes on the hob.

Step 5

Season the tagine with the salt and add half the fresh coriander. Keep some to garnish when serving
