I made your recipe. Turned out good! Added some raisins and apricots to balance the lemony flavor. Me as a south Asian background will need to add jalapeño next time.

Simo. Way to make me desperately miss your cute personality AND your cooking in one fell swoop! Love this!

[channellwoods]

i had the same dish yesterday 😋 ! it’s fun watching a cooking tutorial where the Chef eats what he’s made

[chrisdryer]

holy crap this is well done man! I want to make this. I do a lot of insta-pot stuff these days... but damn man. I need this food.

[paulalowe]

Simo, congrats on this. Very professional. Wish I could eat it with you! Lots of success going forward.

Hey Simo! That looks as good as it was irl :) where do you get your preserved lemons?

[noureddineelhammouri]

Good job bro!
Just one tip. I would not use the Oliver oil in the beginning. I would let my children to release all the water and then add Oliver oil for the chicken to soak it.
Overall, You are amazing chef.
I am in Switzerland 🇨🇭, we need to meet one day to cook together.

What can I substitute for preserved lemons? 🍋 I would like to make this dish, but preserved lemons are hard to find in Denmark. 😅 Thank you.

Simo I've enjoyed watching every single video. I was specifically looking for the red tomato street sauce and how to make it haha :)

Would you mind sharing what size is your tagine you used on this video?

[hawagiwa]

Would it be possible to cook this in the tagine in an oven? If so, how would you go about doing it? Thanks

Pro tip: if you want your knife to stay sharp, turn it over and use the top edge to slide food across the cutting board.

What brand of olives do you recommend?

[thisundertow]

don't be so hard on your knife skills!
