Hello from my holiday in beautiful Switzerland. Even on vacation, I can't help but think about food. Especially during holidays, food is even more important to me. You're often out and about, which offers the opportunity to discover new dishes and eating habits. I love to be inspired by that. This was certainly the case with today's recipe from Moroccan cuisine.
Today's recipe also features preserved lemons. As I mentioned in my previous post, this practical lemon recipe from Morocco adds a light lemon note to any dish without making it too sour.
This time I used the preserved lemon to enhance my beloved oven-baked chicken.
