Notes

Traditionally tagine is served with couscous. But you can serve with anything you like from rice to pasta or a baked potato or just pitta breads.
You can freeze leftovers for up to 3 months. Defrost thoroughly and reheat till piping hot.
Using Preserved Lemons
Rinse thoroughly in cold water and scoop out flesh and discard. Chop the peel and use this in the dish you are cooking
