HINTS & TIPS
If you don’t have a tagine all we can say is go get one, it is a fabulous way to cook
Tagines keep food moist by letting the steam that is created inside the lid drop back down onto the food in turn keeping all the flavours inside
Try similar techniques with fish or even secondary cuts of lamb or beef
