Lemon Chicken Green Olive Tagine

a traditional moroccan tagine which i found in the october 2008 'australian good food' magazine which assures you that this recipe will take you on a romantic escape to marrakech "without aid of a flying carpet". this recipe is for two, but the quantity could easily be increased. essentially the only change i made to this recipe was to suggest sneaking in some wine, which is what i'll certainly do when i make it. if you cannot find turkish bread, use pita bread or any crusty bread suitable for mopping up the juices. this recipe can be prepared ahead.

olive oil, chicken thigh fillets, onions, garlic cloves, ground turmeric…
