Chicken legs that brown first and then cook gently among carrots, potatoes, 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 Tagine Chicken with Vegetables blend. That way the sweet potato stays whole and every vegetable carries flavour.

Chef's tip

Leave the chilli whole for a gentle warmth in the broth. Like it hot? Prick it a few times or cut it into rings. Want the taste of home? Stir half a teaspoon of smen through the broth at the end.

Serving suggestion

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