This is so delicious! I saw this on epicurious.com and decided to make it. The only differences in the recipe is that one had 5 carrots, sliced that were added with the fennel and it used fresh artichokes. This recipe is a little time consuming but well worth it. It was the first time I used my tagine and it turned out wonderfully. My husband says this is just about his favorite recipe from Zaar! Thanks for posting this fabulous recipe!!!
