What it is
Chicken pieces first pan-fried then slowly braised in a tagine, creating a rich sauce from deeply caramelized onions, fragrant saffron, ginger, turmeric, and other Moroccan spices. This version focuses on the profound aromatic flavors without preserved lemon or olives.
Key ingredients
Chicken pieces, onions, olive oil, saffron, ginger, turmeric, black pepper, fresh cilantro, water/broth.
If you order it anyway
Request minimal onion for a keto-friendlier portion (though it's key to the flavor and texture). Ensure no high-carb vegetables like potatoes or carrots. Confirm no sugar is added for onion caramelization.
Watch out for
Significant amount of onions (even when caramelized, the volume can be carb-heavy), potential for added sugar if caramelized heavily, hidden spices.
