Notes: Cubed tender cuts of lamb or diced eggplant or tofu may be substituted for the chicken.
Serve with Couscous or chutney, or if you hate it as I do, then serve with rice seasoned with herbs such a cilantro and scallions.
A deep dish casserole will substitute for a Tagine. Cast iron works best!
