Chicken Tagine Makes Great Housewarming Meal

By Tanya Kurgen


You've just moved in, unpacked, decorated and here you wish to show off the new spot to your family members and bask in kind comments and those delightful oohs and aahs. You want a nice housewarming party idea to match your new house and your new you.

What about a Moroccan Chicken Tagine Dinner with all the bells and whistles? Imagine! Mint tea, exotic foods, wax luminaries, a little bit of belly dance entertainment, unique, original and chic! Roll-up your sleeves and lets take action!!

A little introduction to Moroccan tagines:

Moroccan dishes is unique, healthier, flavorful and synonym of elegance. The key appeal of a Moroccan meal is the Tagine. A Tagine can be both the conical designed clay dish and also the entree itself that typically consists in a chicken, lamb or meat stew together with one or more vegetables.

The food: Cocktail drinks, Kalamata Olives, parmesan cheesse and also beef kabobs, as appetizers, are a great way to begin your evening, accompanied by an eggplant salad. Use some hot pita bread for both the salad as well as the entree. Right now, comes the actual attraction, the infamous Tagine.

Although there're difficult to find, Tagines are getting to be very popular. Traditional Tagines are exclusively made in Morocco and also out of clay and not cast iron.

Cooking in clay boosts the flavour during the cooking process. Make sure the Tagines are free of lead and safe to cook as several out there in the marketplace contain lead and therefore symbolize a overall health hazard. For a gathering of more than 4 people use the Tagine to serve and also present instead of cooking in it unless of course you own more than one.

Remember to keep the meal a secret from start to finish until you unveil the lid table side or as being a core piece. Should you wish to be bold and still have fun get every one of your visitors eat using the pita bread and their fingers (there is Moroccan manners for hand eating too).
