2 Coriander roots , cleaned well, and finely chopped
1 thumb Ginger, peeled & zested
3 cloves Garlic, crushed
1 tbsp Spice Bazaar Moroccan Golden Ras ( also know as Moroccan La Kama)
1 teaspoon salt (first check after preserved lemon is added to ensure you don’t over salt)

3. Add bay leaves, coriander roots, ginger and garlic & sauté for 3 minutes (add a little stock if dry)
4. Add Spice Bazaar Moroccan La Kama, salt, pepper and a small splash of water to ensure spices are not dry
and stir for 1-2 minutes to release flavours
5. Add chicken pieces and preserve lemon., Mix well.
6. Add a very small amount of water/stock if required to ensure the bottom is just moist.
(Avoid the temptation to use too much stock as the vegetables and chicken will also give off liquid)

8. Add remaining vegetables and simmer until vegetables are cooked and chicke is tender
9. If there is too much liquid, remove ingredients and simmer sauce uncovered to reduce (or add corn flour)
