Sausages with Spaghetti

... you find preserved lemons! Or at least I did today.

I'd started them many many months ago (can't even remember when, exactly), but I had to use up some chicken thighs so when I saw the preserved lemons, I thought, YES! I haven't had tagine chicken in ages! So that's what I made today.

I didn't have everything I usually use for this dish, so I had to improvise. I started by sauteing 1/2 a large Vidalia onion (normally you'd use red onion), a large roma tomato (diced), and 1 preserved lemon (chopped up -- I included the rind), all in a bit of garlic-infused oil ...



After 15 minutes or so, I took that mixture out of the pan, switched pans (um, to the one I should have started with ), turned the heat up a bit, and after a minute or two, put 2 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs in there to brown them. After a few minutes of browning both sides, I put the lemon/tomato/onion mixture back in the pan with the chicken and sprinkled on a Moroccan spice mix (basically a ras el hanout mixture) ...



I thought there didn't seem to be enough moisture, so I added a bit of lemon juice, then covered the pan. Cooked for 40 minutes (turning the chicken around the 20-minute mark), so it was looking like this ...



I thought it looked gorgeous, and my house smelled great. I heated up a slice of naan (not quite Moroccan, but it works well with this dish) and made some rice (couscous is more traditional, but I don't care for it), then when everything was ready, this was my dinner plate ...



It turned out REALLY well -- honestly, better than I'd hoped for given that this isn't how I usually make this dish. I have leftovers for tomorrow too (unless I have them as a midnight snack tonight ). It was fun to be doing a bit of actual cooking again.

Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend!

Fried falafel patties in flat bread.

I will offer a sort of tzatziki sauce made from labneh, garlic, Persian cucumber, fresh dill and parsley, olive oil and lemon, plus sliced Persian cucumbers, radishes, onion, tomato, and garden lettuce and indigo radicchio.

Last night all we had was a pretzel baguette with butter and a cup of soup.
