- 0.5 tsp Coriander Seed
- 0.5 tsp Turmeric
- 0.5 tsp Black Pepper
- 2 tbsp Breadcrumbs
- 1.5 tsp Kosher Salt
- 1 pcs Lemon
Method
- Finely dice {onion}, mince {garlic}, peel and dice {potato}, cut {chicken_breast} into small pieces, grate {emmental}, and finely chop {parsley} so the filling cooks evenly.
- Heat {olive_oil} in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pat {chicken_breast} dry so it browns, then sauté with {kosher_salt} and {black_pepper} until lightly golden. Add {onion}, season again with {kosher_salt}, and cook until softened and translucent. Stir in {garlic}, {tomato_paste}, {caraway_seed}, {coriander_seed}, and {turmeric}; bloom until fragrant and the paste darkens slightly. Add {potato}, season once more with {kosher_salt}, and cook until the edges start to soften.
- Whisk {eggs} in a large bowl with {emmental}, {parsley}, {breadcrumbs}, a pinch of {kosher_salt}, and a little {black_pepper} until smooth and well combined.
- Heat the oven to medium. Oil a baking dish with {olive_oil}, fold the warm chicken mixture into the egg mixture, then pour in and bake until puffed, set in the center, and deeply golden on top.
- Rest the tajine until just warm so it slices cleanly, then finish with {lemon} and a light drizzle of {olive_oil} for brightness.
