3 tablespoons olive oil
2 red onions, thinly sliced lengthwise
3 garlic cloves mashed into a paste with salt (use a mortar, or chop and press with the side of your knife)
2 teaspoons ground ginger (I used fresh grated ginger and enjoyed the results)
1/2 teaspoon saffron, in a little warm water
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Juice of 1/2 lemon
2 small preserved lemons (really look for these: they make a HUGE difference; or make them yourself)
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Small bunch of fresh cilantro
6 chicken thighs (I bought them with bones and skin, then removed the skin myself…which I turned into a treat later on)
3 tablespoons pitted Kalamata olives
