Beef & squash tagine with chickpeas
I can’t say enough good things about this dish. It is delicious, hearty, rich, satisfying, and just good. I have only made it a handful of times, but was just reminded that I should make it more often.
Just in case you are not sure what a Tagine is, well is is basically a stewed type dish cooked (traditionally, I might add), in a two part earthen pot. It comes from North Africa and is steeped in flavour. I first had a tagine about 7 or 8 years ago at a friend’s place for dinner. I was hooked. From there, I have tired it at the wonderful La Califa restaurant locally around these parts. Amazing! Okay, my dish doesn’t stand a scratch compared to the delights of that wonderful gem, but it is pretty good. Tagine can be made with fish, meat or just vegetables of any kind.
