Yes, well I’m tajine cooking again. They are so versatile and I’ve fallen in love!
The Emile Henry tajines have such elegant lines, I just make up things to cook in them. Like this tarragon chicken, you just know it’ll work!
Tajine Braised Chicken Tarragon
6 chicken thighs
Salt and pepper
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp butter
2 onions, quartered
5 large garlic cloves, sliced
8 small tomatoes, quartered
3 sprigs fresh tarragon leaves
1/2 cup white wine
Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper and brown in the olive oil. Remove the chicken and all but 1 tablespoon of the cooking oil, add the butter, onions, garlic and cook until the garlic begins to brown. Add the tomatoes and tarragon leaves, cooking and stirring for about 2 minutes. Place the chicken on top of the vegetables, pour the white wine on top and place in a 400 degree oven, covered for 30 minutes. Remove the tajine top and continue to cook for an additional 15 minutes.

My tarragon did not grow for long I have to try again.. so sad.. however i am more and more determined to find myself a tajine.. c
I love fresh tarragon. This looks fantastic.
Thank you Greg
I wouldn’t have thought of doing tarragon chicken in a tajine, but it sure looks good and I’ll definitely be giving it a go!
Tajine cooking is just so easy; the browning and roasting is done in the same pot. I love it!
I’ve never tried tajine cooking before, looks like it’s going to be something I’m trying soon 🙂 The chicken looks lovely btw!
Thank you Jen. I’m having a ball with the tajine 🙂
I think I may get myself one of these tajines – they look so pretty! 😀 This is totally my sort of cooking by the way.
I know how frugal you are but buy the Emile Henry. It’s a little expensive but you can use it on the stove top and the oven. Good investment.
Yummy! I’m going to make something very similar!
Good, I’m looking forward to it!
This sounds good! I don’t have a tanjine, but a dutch oven would work the same, right?
A dutch oven would work.
