Chicken Tagine with Lemon

Chicken slowly braised with preserved lemon, green olives, ginger and saffron, the classic Moroccan tagine. Mostly hands-off: the timers tell you when to come back. A heavy casserole works if you don't have a tagine. You need (serves 4): 8 bone-in chicken thighs, 2 onions, 3 garlic cloves, 1 tsp each ground ginger, cumin and paprika, a pinch of saffron, 1 preserved lemon, 150 g green olives, a bunch each of coriander and parsley, 3 tbsp olive oil, 250 ml water, 300 g couscous, butter.
