"PILE-ONS"



We call them "Pile-on's" because we pile everything on them! About 35 years or so...give or take a few, my sister had me over her house and they made these. I fell in love! My son asks for them on his birthday and I wanted them for my birthday dinner last night. That really tells you how good these are. Frying a flour tortilla makes all the difference for this wonderful crispy dish. They are so good and very easy to make. If you have a big crowd, I would strongly suggest this. It doesn't cost much, it's fast and easy, plus everyone is very very happy! "Enjoy"

CHICKEN TAGINE WITH OLIVES AND PRESERVED LEMONS



Chicken Tagine With Olives and Preserved Lemons image

This rich and fragrant chicken stew is laden with complex flavors and spices reminiscent of the sort you might encounter in a mountainside cafe in Morocco. Save yourself the cost of a plane ticket, however, and make this at home. First, rub the chicken with a redolent combination of garlic, saffron, ground ginger, paprika, cumin, turmeric and black pepper, then pop it into the refrigerator for 3 to 4 hours to marinate. Once that's done, brown the chicken parts, and remove from the pan, making room for a pile of sliced onions that you'll sauté until golden brown. Nestle a cinnamon stick into the tangle of onions, pile the chicken parts on top and scatter with slices of preserved lemons and olives, a combination of green and kalamata. Add a bit of chicken stock and lemon juice, then cook over low heat until the chicken is cooked through, and your house smells amazing.

Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 chicken, cut in 8 to 10 pieces
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
