This tagine is a great make-ahead meal. I made it the night before, and it was even better the next day. The flavors had really had a chance to meld together, and the chicken was even more tender. I highly recommend making this tagine ahead of time.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this tagine without the chicken. It was still delicious! The vegetables were cooked perfectly, and the sauce was flavorful and rich. I served it with couscous, and it was a perfect meal.
