The dish is enhanced by a subtle blend of Moroccan spices, giving this dish its authentic and refined character.

Preparation

This tagine is prepared using traditional Moroccan methods. The chicken pieces are first lightly browned to develop their flavors, then simmered over low heat with onions and spices. The fennel is braised separately to achieve its characteristic tender, slightly caramelized texture. The peas are added at the end of cooking to preserve their freshness and crunch. The whole dish is simmered in an authentic terracotta tagine that allows for slow, even heat diffusion, promoting a perfect fusion of flavors.
