• If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with water and add it to the tagine during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
• You can also add some chopped almonds or toasted sesame seeds as a garnish for added texture and flavor.

Storage and Serving

• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat the tagine gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of water or broth if needed to prevent drying out.
• Serve the reheated tagine with fresh couscous or bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
