  Not yet made this but it's similar to a lamb tagine that I make. I would say that you will need the apricots. If it's anything like the tagine that I make, they will semi-melt giving the sauce a wonderfully sweet taste. I make my lamb one with dates (and sooooo many people turn their nose up at it) - but they actually melt, thicken the sauce and give it a lovely sweetness. People don't know that dates are in it til I tell them!

  Try preserved lemons instead of apricots, a few green olives will go nicely with this too :D

  I made this last night. I couldn't find the ras-el-hanout or Moroccan spice mix in my small local supermarket so used a teaspoon of Harissa paste. I used a chicken stock cube in water. 300mls is far too much as it is not as thick. Next time I would use 150ml and add more if needed. Delicious though and really quick.

  Made this last night and it was lovely. I used thigh meat instead of breast, doubled the quantities of everything except the stock (I think I used enough to cover) and extended the cooking times to thicken. It was also a pleasure to use the ras-el-hanout I bought at the market in Tangier.

  I made this last night, we used the Ras El Hanout spice mix bought in Marrakesh but the flavour was too strong, sot he combination of spice and chick pea's meant the bedroom windows had to be open all night! Less spice, less chick peas more apricots and maybe some lemon juice next time! Will keep trying though as the potential is there. I served it with couscous.

  this is delicious. I made my own Moroccan Spice mix by looking up a spice blend online, I also missed out a couple of the stronger spices like cloves and cardemon, and we found the flavour was much nicer and more kid friendly! They loved it. I also used less stock, and lemon was lush with it.

  The Ra El Hanout is quite strong and normally that would be great for me but my 2 year old daughter was eating it as well. So I added a little creme fraiche and I thought it was so nice that I added it to everyones.

  This has become a regular dish in our family, we have it probably once a week and we all love it! I couldn't find a moroccan spice mix, so I made my own looking up the blend online, there are a few good ones which are easy to follow. I also left cloves out of the mix, as they're so strong. My 2 and 3 year olds LAP it up. I also use carrots instead of apricots when I haven't got them, and it's yummy too.

  I put in twice the amount of apricots as there didn't seem to be much with 12 in there. didn't have any coriander so left that out. I ate this and there still wasn't enough flavour. I used Bart Ras-el-hanout spice mix from supermarket, so perhaps I will put in more spice next time, and maybe a bit of lemon juice.

  Most lovely and very healty dish! Apricot adds a really nice sweet taste to this stew. Unfortunately fresh coriander is not available in my country (at reasonably price) so we substitute it with some dried and ground seeds.

  A wee bit boring. The coriander can not save it; maybe some roasted almonds could add a little extra.

  Nice dish although not as spicy as I'd thought so next time I will add more. Hadn't read the comments about the stock before I started but 300ml is definitely too much. I would half that and add more if necessary. Saying that, there was clear plates all around! I served with couscous and green veg.
