Chicken legs that are browned first and then gently simmered with carrot, potato, peas and sweet potato. Everything happens in one pot, and the broth that forms is warm, spiced and slightly sweet from the vegetables. It's all in the timing: you add the vegetables in two rounds, each time with a little of our chicken and vegetable tagine mix. That way the sweet potato stays whole and every vegetable picks up flavour.

Chef's tip

Leave the chilli whole for a gentle heat in the broth. Like it spicy? Prick it a few times or slice it into rings.

Serving suggestion

Serve in deep plates with fresh bread to mop up the broth.
