Tajine Cooking

In January, when Peter's of Kensington were having their annual sale, I spied this gorgeous blue Emile Henry Tagine (Tajine) at such a ridiculously low price, I grabbed it!
BEST decision I've made in a long while. :)

It cooks food so beautifully. Better than a casserole. Better than a slow cooker.

I also bought this book from Peter's, but it is available from Bookdepository dot com for about $14. Such delicious recipes! My mouth waters just reading the recipes and looking at the pictures. 

I am slowly working my way through the recipes.

This is the first dish I cooked - Lamb tagine with prunes, apricots and honey. 

Chicken tagine with Preserved Lemon and Olives

And tonights dish of Beef tagine with beetroot and oranges.

I think my favourite so far, is the Lamb with apricots and prunes. :)

I am also experimenting by using the tagine to cook other, more European in style, casserole dishes.
