Deep, delicious and divine is the only way to describe the flavours in this recipe. For a dish that yields so much intensity one could easily imagine you’d laboured over it for days, when in fact it’s a one-pot dish. Although it’s called a tagine, I’ve never actually made it in a tagine, though I have used a slow cooker and had amazing results every time.
