Method
Heat the oil soften the onions in the oil until translucent and then add the ground spices and garlic.
Stir gently for a couple of minutes before adding the chicken pieces.
Stirring well to ensure the chicken is well coated in the spice mixture keep stirring until the chicken is sealed then add the strained chopped tomatoes – straining the tomatoes stops the sauce becoming soup.
Allow to simmer gently for 15 minutes, then add the chopped parsley and coriander stalks. Simmer for a further 5 minutes.
At this point you can either serve straight away or refrigerate/freeze until required.
Before you serve add the  halved green beans to the hot tagine for 2 minutes and stir through. Sprinkle with the chopped parsley and coriander leaves just before serving.
