Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 lb Chicken thighs, chicken thighs skinned, rinsed
1 large onion chopped
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon ginger ground
1/2 teaspoon turmeric ground
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup kalamata olives
10 each moroccan lemon quarters
1/4 cup cilantro finely chopped, optional

Directions

NOTE: For less sodium, use ripe olives instead of calamatas.

Pour oil into a 10-12 inch frying pan over medium-high heat.

Add chicken and turn pieces often to brown on all sides, about 15 minutes.

Lift out chicken; set aside.

Remove all but 1 tablespoon oil from pan.

Add onion; stir often over medium-high heat until tinged with brown, about 5 minutes.

Stir in paprika, ginger, turmeric, and pepper.

Add 1 cup water, chicken, olives, 6 preserved lemon quarters, and 1 tablespoon preserved lemon liquid.

Cover pan and simmer, turning once, until meat is no longer pink at bone (cut to test) 20-25 minutes.

Skim and discard fat; transfer chicken and sauce to a wide bowl.

Garnish chicken with remaining lemon wedges and cilantro.

We really enjoyed this dish. The flavor was wonderful. I am going to use leftovers over noodles. However, I needed to use more cornstarch than the recipe called for to make the gravy thick enough
