1 tbsp finely grated ginger
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
2 tsp ground cumin

125ml water
75g Kalamata olives, pitted
½ tsp salt
50g raisins
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Couscous or rice, to serve
2 tbsp pine nuts, toasted

How To Make African Peach And Chicken Tagine:
1.) Firstly, heat the oil in a large, wide frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and chicken. Cook, stirring occasionally until chicken is no longer pink.
2.) Stir in ginger, garlic and seasonings. Add peaches, sweet potatoes, tomatoes and their juice, water, olives and salt. Then stir.
3.) Bring to the boil, then cover and simmer gently, stirring occasionally until sweet potato is soft, about 15 to 20 minutes.

Top Tip:
Place the peaches in boiling water for about 30 seconds.
Using a slotted spoon, remove from the boiling water and place in a bowl filled with iced water.
As soon as the peaches are cool enough to handle, lightly pinch the softened skin and peel off with your fingers.

This looks very tasty. Since peaches aren’t yet in season, would it be okay to use canned or frozen peaches and add them later in the cook time?
Thank you

You could try this. I would say frozen ones would need cooking longer than fresh ones.
Very tasty 🙂
This looks amazing!
