Matt and I received a gift certificate for David Jones (equivalent of Bloomingdales or Dilliards) from all of his friends at work. We were planning on a shopping day and were looking through the catalog when we saw they had tagines, a traditional Moroccan cooking pot, and on sale. Good tagines aren't cheap so I was very excited. We had to go to two different stores but finally got the last floor model. Yay!! Until yesterday our tagine has been used as a piece of artwork sitting on display on top of the wine cabinet. They are not only useful for making great meals but very beautiful. All because of the domed top which in my case could always double as a hat.
Matt and I went to the Vic Market (I love that place) and got all of our veggies right from the farmers. I love tagines because you use very little oil but lots of good for you stuff...especially the apricots! It took about a half an hour of prep and two hours of slow cooking but I am happy to say came out tasting delicious.
