Cooking Tips

• For a spicier tagine, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red chili flakes.
• If you don't have a tagine, you can use a large pot or Dutch oven.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover tagine can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat the tagine on the stovetop or in the microwave before serving.
• The flavors of the tagine develop even more when left to simmer for a longer period of time.
