Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon honey

1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes, undrained

½ teaspoon salt

1 small bunch fresh coriander, finely chopped

1. Heat the oil in a tagine or heavy pan. Stir in the onion and cook until it begins to soften.

 

2. Add the ginger, garlic, cumin seeds and cinnamon and cook for 2 minutes.

 

3. Add the chicken and brown on both sides.
