This was delicious. I stumbled across the spice Ras-Al-Hanout by accident and so searched for a recipe that used it. I had been impressed with Ian Hewitson's stuff before and so decided to give it a go. The first time I made it I did it in a heavy wok and after cooking everything, transferred it all to a slow cooker. It was excellent. I've just been given a proper morroccan tagine for a present so can't wait to try it using that! Update: Have since done it twice in my you-beaut proper Morrocan tagine and it is sensational!
