Preparation of crowns

Cooking tajine

12. When cooking a traditional Moroccan Tajin above the fireplace, use a heat diffuser to avoid burning and cracking the lower part of the crowns. It is a must and a must!
13. On medium medium heat, place the publisher first, then two crowns above it. Close and cook for 15-20 minutes until onions and chicken are released from juices and liquid.
14. Then, reduce the heat to low, cover the tajine, and cook until the chicken. This can take 1 hour or more, depending on the chicken pieces and the quality of your crown. Very important - make sure that the heat is low and the tip is closed.
15. Add lemon juice and green olives to the sauce.
Put the preserved lemon skins on the chicken.
17. Taste your sauce and add salt and spices if necessary - wait until the end to add salt, because the preserved lemon is already salty!
18 - Do not cover the crowns, and continue cooking for another 15 minutes or so, until the liquids evaporate and reach the sauce.
