Moroccan Chicken Tagine
Moroccan Chicken Tagine with apricots, warm spices and a good mix of vegetables, my take on the classic North-African stew that is ready in only 30 minutes. It has a great range of flavours and textures, and it's superbly hearty and filling. Serve it with couscous for the best exotic experience.
