Chicken Tagine with Preserved Lemons, Roasted Peppers, and Olives + Donkey & Goat's Grenache Blanc Skins #Sponsored

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Donkey & Goat Winery.* All opinions are my own.

This was a recipe I tested to go with Donkey & Goat's Grenache Blanc Skins. While, in the end, I opted to post my Petrale Sole, Fennel, and Potato Gratin for their Spring wine release, it was simply because this recipe can be seen as complicated and requiring a special pot - a tagine. You can accomplish the same thing with a Dutch oven or any pot with a tight-fitting lid. But I agreed with Jared that this crossed the line from inspiring to intimidating. That is definitely not where I wanted to go for the project.

But I did want to share it regardless because it was a fabulous dish with the wine!

Chicken Tagine with Preserved Lemons,

Roasted Peppers, and Olives

Ingredients serves 8

6 cloves garlic, peeled and pressed
¼ t saffron threads, pulverized
½ t ground ginger
1 t smoked paprika
½ t ground cumin
½ t turmeric
whole chicken, cut in 8 to 10 pieces, or 8 chicken thighs
2 T olive oil
2 medium onions, chopped
1 cinnamon stick
1 C olives, pitted and halved
1 C roasted peppers, thickly sliced
4 to 5 preserved lemon wedges, pulp removed and rind sliced thinly
2 C chicken stock
2 T chopped flat-leaf parsley

Procedure

Blend garlic, saffron, ginger, paprika, cumin, and turmeric together. Rub chicken with mixture, cover, refrigerate and marinate 3 to 4 hours.

Heat half of the oil in heavy skillet, or base of the tagine. Add chicken and brown on all sides. Heat the remaining oil in the tagine. Add onions and cook over medium-low heat until lightly browned.

Tuck the cinnamon stick into the onions and place the browned chicken on top of that.

Scatter with olives, roasted peppers, and preserved lemon strips. Pour stock over chicken. Bring to a boil, then cover. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes.

To serve, sprinkle with parsley and divide into individual servings. Serve hot. I served this with barely blanched green beans and saffron rice. Read my thoughts about this wine in the gratin post. It's amazing!

Caulibits Crni Rižoto (Croatian Black "Risotto") #Whole30

Last week, I participated in the Wine Pairing Weekend event 'New Year, New Wine." I paired Crni Rižoto with Dingac Vinarija’s Pelješac...and you can read my post: here . I was pouring a Croatian wine and decided to make a traditional Croatian dish. Every seafood restaurant in Croatia has a Crni Rižoto (black risotto) on its menu. Crni Rižoto is risotto dyed black with squid ink; I used cuttlefish ink for the same effect. However, since arborio rice is not Whole30 compliant, I made a version for myself that used caulibits instead of rice. Ingredients 1 C fish stock (or a combination of fish stock and vegetable stock) 1 T olive oil 1 medium shallots, peeled and minced 1 cloves garlic, crushed and minced 1/4 lb shrimp 1/4 lb squid tubes, cleaned and sliced into rings 1/4 lb scallops 1/4 lb clams, scrubbed 1/4 lb mussels, scrubbed 4 C caulibits, or chopped cauliflower 1 T fresh parsley, minced juice and zest from 1 organic lemon 1 t cuttlefish ink

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy. Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here. And there won't be a Twitter chat for this event, so you will have to dive into the articles themselves to read about our pairings and findings. Here's the line-up...
