This Moroccan Chicken Tagine with Prunes is a simple yet incredibly flavorful dish that’s perfect for entertaining or enjoying a comforting, nutritious meal at home. With only 15 minutes of preparation time and 45 minutes of cooking, this tagine is both easy and impressive.

The Moroccan chicken tagine is naturally dairy-free, gluten-free, and grain-free, making it ideal for people with food intolerances. Optional almonds add a crunchy texture and extra nutrients if desired.

What sets this Moroccan chicken tagine apart is not only the delicious spice blend but the nutrient-rich ingredients. Prunes are a fantastic source of fiber, potassium, and antioxidants. They support digestion, bone health, and blood sugar regulation while adding a beautiful depth of sweetness to the dish.

Sesame seeds, often sprinkled on top or stirred in, provide healthy fats, calcium, magnesium, and powerful antioxidants like sesamin and sesamol. These seeds support heart health, reduce inflammation, and aid hormone balance.

Eat Burn Sleep recipes like this Moroccan chicken tagine are crafted to promote gut health and reduce inflammation. When consumed regularly, the diverse anti-inflammatory ingredients work in harmony with the body to support long-term wellness and healing.

Serve your Moroccan chicken tagine with fluffy saffron rice—a beautiful nod to Yalda’s Moroccan and Persian heritage—or pair it with quinoa or even cauliflower rice for a lighter option.

Delicious, nourishing, and healing all at once, this is a dish you’ll want to come back to again and again.

Ingredients

  • 4 chicken legs (you can use any cut, keep the skin on. 2 cups or 250g of chicken per person, bones included)
  • 2 large onions
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 1 1/8 cups or 200g of prunes
  • 1 cup or 150g of flaked or blanched almonds
  • 2 tbsp of honey
  • 1 pinch of saffron
  • 1 tsp of freshly grated ginger
  • 1/2 tsp of cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp of sesame seeds
  • salt, pepper, sunflower, or olive oil

Directions

  1. In a large pot, brown the chicken in a little bit of oil. Add the sliced onion and crushed garlic. Season with salt and pepper and make the onions sweat for about 7 minutes on medium heat.

  2. Add the saffron, cinnamon, and fresh ginger. Pour 300ml of water in the pot and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 30 minutes.

  3. Add prunes and honey and let it cook for a further 10 minutes.

  4. In a small pan, brown the almonds, being careful not to burn them. The trick is to remove them from the heat when they just start to brown as they carry on cooking afterward.

  5. Serve the chicken in a dish. Decorate with the almonds and the sesame seeds. Enjoy!

Every time these Chocolate and Sea Salt Brownies are made, they disappear quickly—everyone loves them! What’s even better is that they taste richer and more indulgent than regular brownies, yet they are completely dairy-free, gluten-free, and grain-free. This makes them a fantastic option for those with dietary restrictions or anyone looking for a healthier treat.

The recipe uses ground almonds, which are packed with essential minerals like zinc, potassium, magnesium, and vitamin E. These nutrients play important roles in supporting brain function, skin health, respiratory wellbeing, and cardiovascular support. Ground almonds also help regulate blood sugar levels, making these brownies a smarter choice compared to traditional sugary desserts.

Cocoa, the star ingredient, is not only delicious but also highly beneficial. It protects heart health, boosts the immune system, strengthens the intestinal lining against harmful microorganisms, and helps soothe gastrointestinal discomfort. Adding coconut sugar to the mix further enhances the gut-friendly benefits, as it has natural anti-fungal properties and helps combat unhealthy gut bacteria.

These Chocolate and Sea Salt Brownies are a wonderful guilt-free indulgence that delivers both great flavor and health benefits. You can enjoy every bite knowing you’re treating your body well. Perfect for sharing with family and friends or savoring as a personal treat, these brownies bring deliciousness and nutrition together in one satisfying package. Whether for a snack or dessert, they’re sure to impress and leave you wanting more, all without the usual digestive discomfort or health compromises.

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs (at room temperature)
  • 2/3 cup or 80g of ground almonds
  • 1/4 cup or 80g of cacao powder
  • 1/2 cup or 130g of coconut oil
  • 1 1/3 or 200g of coconut sugar
  • sea salt to decorate

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven at 350 F / 175 C (fan oven).

  2. Beat the eggs and add the coconut sugar, followed by the ground almonds and a pinch of salt. Mix well.

  3. Add the melted (but cooled down) coconut oil and the cacao powder, mix gently as the cacoa powder is fine.

  4. Pour in a greased muffin tray (I use coconut oil) lined with baking paper. Bake at 350 F / 175 C (fan oven) for 18 minutes.

  5. Let it cool down and decorate with sea salt flakes.
    Enjoy!! I love having these with a cup of coffee. Total treat but not too naughty.

  6. *if you are allergic to nuts or prefer not to use almond flour (ground almonds) for any other reason, you can replace it with quinoa flour. 80g or 2/3 cup of almond flour can be replaced with 50 g or 2/3 cup of quinoa flour.

Serving Tips

Pair our chocolate and sea salt brownies with:
• Instant Nut Milk
Calm Mind Protein Shake
Healthy Frappuccino

Storage Tips

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can also freeze the individual servings. Place them on a baking sheet, then when fully frozen, remove and place them in the container/bag for up to 3 months.
