Tajine de Poulet aux Carottes et Patates Douces (Chicken and Sweet Potato Tagine)
This tagine brings together tender chicken thighs with sweet potatoes and carrots, all simmered in an aromatic blend of North African spices. It starts on the stovetop to build flavor, then finishes in the oven until the vegetables are soft and the chicken is falling apart. A handful of plump raisins and prunes added at the end lend a subtle sweetness, making for a hearty one-pot meal.

Simmer Chicken and Spices
In a large pot, combine the chopped onions, celery, cilantro, and parsley. Stir in the turmeric, cumin, paprika, ginger, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper, making sure the spices are well distributed.
Nestle the chicken thighs on top, then drizzle with olive oil. Cover the pot and let it simmer gently over low heat until the chicken is tender, which should take about 40 minutes.

Soak Raisins
While the chicken simmers, place the raisins in a small bowl and cover them with hot water. Let them soak for about 10 minutes, then drain well and set aside.
