Tagine

Tagines are the rich, fragrant stews that form the basis of traditional Moroccan cooking. These hearty meals, flavored with spices and fruit, are served from an elegant, specially designed cooking vessel, also called a tagine. In Ghillie Basan’s collection of aromatic recipes you will find some of the best-loved classics of the Moroccan kitchen, such as the sumptuous lamb tagine with prunes, apricots, and almonds, and the tangy chicken tagine with green olives and lemon. Also included are less traditional but equally delicious recipes for beef and fish. Vegetarians, too, have a delightful and varied choice. Every recipe includes suggestions for accompaniments and side dishes.
