A: One of these tagines, care of those crafty Moroccans, okay?
Eating out is a bloody good time over the weekend, what with all that lazy grazing and socialising potential. Is nice. But come say, Sunday night, you’d rather keep indoors and be DIY, you can technically be in two places at once: Morocco and home!
Seriously guys. A special word that names this girthy dish as well as the earthenware pot in which it is cooked, tagine is a winter blues killer. You can dump everything into one of these, wait awhile, then chow down on the fruits of your very own labour. We give you our top 5, distinctly unique tagine recipes, gracefully pinched from some online culinary covens.
