This delicious tagine is like a Moroccan ratatouille with the additional burst of sweet and spicy flavours from the dried fruits and the ras el hanout.
It is a lovely dish to serve on its own with chunks of fresh crusty bread and a dollop of yogurt, but you can also serve it with couscous.
Moroccan cuisine is well-known for its rich, warm spices, some of which are combined into ras el hanout, a blend of spices with up to 60 ingredients. In its native land, every grocer mixes differently, but commercial blends are widely available in UK supermarkets.
