The Moroccan word “tagine” basically means “stew” (and also refers to the traditional glazed ceramic baking dish with a conical lid that it’s cooked in). But this is more than your grandmother’s meat-and-potatoes stew—it’s beautiful and fragrant, with a deep flavor tinged with a tartness from the pomegranate juice. As the dish simmers, the dark chicken and dried fruit absorb the crimson of the pomegranate juice and cook into a luscious caramel brown stew. The fresh pomegranate arils and cilantro leaves add a final bright counterpoint.
