Time for a hearty family meal!
Tagine is traditional North African dish, the name refers to both the food and the clay or ceramic dish in which the meal is cooked and served. It can be made with fish or meat along with vegetables, fruit and spices. This is a wholesome meal. All the flavours are concentrated as they cook under their own steam, making this dish particularly fragrant too.
Pink Lady® apples are an ideal ingredient as they can be cooked for a long time to become tender while remaining firm. With a touch of acidity, the apples provide the perfect contrast to the sweetness of the dried fruit and blend well with the spices.
