Have people round for dinner later this week and was thinking of making a tagine. Does anyone have a good tried and test reasonably easy recipe for this.

As this has fallen from the front page of OS, I'll add it to the exisitng tagine thread to give you more recipe ideas

So... anyone know a recipe that:
Doesn't contain raisins

If I see something I like, but I'm not to sure of all the ingrediants I just substitute it for something similar I like that will also go.

So if you don't like raisins, I guess you probably don't like sultanas either, but whay about dried apricots or dates, thats how I do it.

If something requires a nut I don't like, I put in nuts I do.

I doctor recipes all the time like this. So long as its a similar subistute & you stick to the same quantity its fine.

I'm thinking of doing an xmas pud & cake but with the limited range of dried fruit & nuts I like.

ETA I did a Tangine recipe last week & it was incredible (in a le cruset casserole pot).

Hi i had half a dozen tomatoes that needed using up, so as i was whizing up the onion, garlic, ginger, spices, lemon juice etc. i added them in, the sauce looks ok, quite pale and smells a bit acidicy because of the tomatoes. do you think it will be ok? its all in the slow cooker now.

You could add some tomato puree.

Some sugar should neutralise the acidity x

I just combined (Greek) yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, onion, mint, coriander and smoked paprika to make a yogurt style dressing to go with a beef tagine.

It was nice.

Does anyone have any Moroccan yogurt dressing recipes?
