About This Moroccan & Mediterranean Dish

Our Chicken Tajine with Olives and Preserved Lemon is one of the most celebrated dishes in Moroccan & Mediterranean cuisine, featuring half a chicken that's been carefully marinated in a blend of authentic Moroccan spices and precious saffron threads.

This traditional tajine showcases the signature Moroccan & Mediterranean flavor combination of briny green olives and tangy preserved lemon zest — a pairing that defines Moroccan cuisine. The chicken is slow-cooked in our iconic cone-shaped tajine pot until it's fall-off-the-bone tender, absorbing every layer of aromatic spice and citrus.

Each bite delivers a perfect balance of savory, tangy, and aromatic flavors. The saffron adds a subtle floral note and beautiful golden color, while the preserved lemon provides a bright, complex citrus punch that's uniquely Moroccan.

Served with golden fries and freshly baked homemade bread, this dish is a complete meal that captures the heart of Moroccan home cooking. Whether you're discovering Moroccan cuisine for the first time or revisiting a beloved favorite, this tajine delivers an authentic taste of Morocco.
