- Once cooked, this tagine recipe will keep in the fridge for up to 4 days. In fact, I think it's even better the second day as all the flavors really get the chance to mingle!
- This recipe is freezer friendly. Just let it cook completely, then freeze in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Defrost, heat and serve.
