Notes about this recipe

    As others have noted, this is quite good, especially at the end of a cold day, which it was today. We liked the amount of spices- not overpowering and just enough to bring out Moroccan flavors. Served over couscous but think basmati rice might even be better to soak up the au jus. Easy to put together and the simmering time freed up time to make a salad and set the table.

    We really liked this. Just the right amount of spices. Some Moroccan type recipes have too much cinnamon for my taste, but this was just right. And I love Saffron. Definitely will make again.

    Ok, but not spectacular. I'm hoping it improves with a little sit in the fridge overnight...

    Wow, what a wonderful one-pot meal for a wintry night. I served it by itself, without the suggested couscous or quinoa, as I felt the sweet potatoes provided enough carbohydrates. I thought I had prunes but they turned out to be dried cherries, so that was what I used, substituting 3 cherries for each prune called for, Will definitely make this again.

    p 212 We loved this tagine made in a clay pot on the gas burner using a difuser as a precaution. Didn't have star anise. Only one star anise point is required. I also forgot the optional toasted chopped walnuts for serving. As Dorie says the resulting liquid in the cooked dish is a jus, not a sauce. It is very, very flavorful and I served with couscous. Dorie also suggests serving with quinoa or rice. Addition: I made this again in spite of the fact that I had no sweet potatoes. Instead I substituted russet potatoes but add a sliced apple for sweetness. The apple was delicious. Think I will add it even if I have sweet potatoes.
