Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Heat 2 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook onions until softened and browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer onions into a tagine. Layer chicken pieces on top of onions.
- Combine turmeric, cumin, ground coriander, and salt in a small bowl; mix well with remaining 5 tablespoons olive oil. Spread spice mixture onto the chicken pieces. Add cinnamon pieces, bay leaves, ginger, and cilantro. Pour in 1/2 cup of water and cover tagine with a lid.
- Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 50 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- Melt butter in a skillet over low heat while chicken is cooking. Add sliced pears and honey and cook, while stirring, until honey has caramelized.
- Remove tagine from the oven and stir in caramelized pears. Return to the oven and cook for an additional 10 minutes.

INSTANT POT® MOROCCAN CHICKEN TAGINE
Your Instant Pot® replaces the traditional clay or ceramic cone-shaped cooking pot used in Moroccan cuisine (the tagine). The word 'tagine' also refers to the slow-cooked, stew-like dish that is prepared in it. This chicken tagine features the authentic flavors of preserved lemons and olives, with a delicious combination of spices typically used in Moroccan cooking.

MOROCCIAN CHICKEN TAGINE
From Emeril Lagasse, this is a flavorful dish often served over couscous. Just a note about a tagine...The traditional tagine pot is formed entirely of a heavy clay, which is sometimes painted or glazed. It consists of two parts: a base unit that is flat and circular with low sides and a large cone- or dome-shaped cover that sits on the base during cooking. The cover is designed to promote the return of all condensation to the bottom. With the cover removed, the base can be taken to the table for serving. Tajines are frequently used and made in Morocco. If you don't have a tagine, use a Dutch oven.

Steps:
- Combine the saffron threads and water in a small bowl and allow to steep. In another small bowl, combine the kosher salt, black pepper, cumin and cardamom. Mix well, and season the chicken pieces on both sides with the spice blend.
- Set a tagine or Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add half of the chicken pieces, skin side down, and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and set aside while you cook the remaining chicken pieces. Remove and set aside.
- Add the cinnamon sticks and bay leaves to the tagine and cook, stirring, for 20 seconds. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are lightly caramelized, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic to the pan and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the stock, saffron, raisins, preserved lemons and olives to the pan and bring to a boil. Return the chicken to the pan, skin side down. Return the sauce to a boil, cover the tagine, and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook, covered, for 15 minutes. Turn the chicken pieces to the other side and add the almonds. Continue to cook, covered, until the meat is very tender, 15 to 20 minutes longer. Garnish the chicken with the mint and serve over warm couscous in shallow bowls.

MOROCCAN CHICKEN TAGINE
I have adapted the best of three other Moroccan chicken recipes (primarily the Million Dollar Chicken) to produce this one. The main difference is it uses more authentic ingredients like harissa paste, onions and chick peas. This is now one of my favourite dishes. TIP: Harissa pastes come in different strengths - if using from a jar, use 2 to 3 tablespoons (or more if you like it spicier). If using it from a tube, it's concentrated, and you might want to use less (I found this out the hard way!)

- Prep your preserved lemon by cutting it in half, removing the pulp and roughly chopping it. The lemon skin into strips and set aside.
- Start by drizzling 1-2 tbsp. of olive oil on the base of your dish. Add your chicken drumsticks on top. Top with your onions and preserved lemon (pulp and skin). Drizzle your spices then place your potatoes all around the chicken. Top with green beans and drizzle with salt and pepper. Drizzle about a 1/3 of a cup of water and cover with your lid.Make sure that your tagine is cracked open like this to allow for the steam to escape and avoid overflow.
- At this point, it is just a waiting game. Keep an eye on your tagine, make sure that it doesn't burn. However, I will say that if you do leave it on low-heat and use a lid like demonstrated above, your tagine will not burn. After 40-45 minutes your Tagine should look very saucy.
- As you can probably see, the Tagine is still very watery. If you are the kind of person who likes a saucy stew then just go ahead and serve it. However, if like me, you prefer a thicker stew, then let your tagine simmer for another 5-8 minutes uncovered.
