  Just eaten this, fabulous! Left out cinnamon and olives as boyfriend doesn't like and was still lovely. Also didn't bother with lemon wedges, just the zest and juice, still lemony and lovely. Definitely a fab dinner party recipe! Served with buttery creamy mash potatoes

  Absolutely gorgeous! Swapped black olives for green ones as I prefer them, and served with rice as I hate couscous. Froze in portions and reheats really well, although I did add a touch more water. Definitely doing this one again!

  made this for a week night supper to make a change and really enjoyed it. Fresh tasting with a hint of heat from the cayenne and chilli. Would probably make it hotter next time.

  This was thoroughly delicious, the meatballs are really tender, the sauce nice and rich (used half a tube of tom puree), didn't bother with the lemon wedges as the children would complain. Made it with quinoa, mint and apricot. Superb.

  Yummy yummy! Cooked today but saving for tomorrow and will freeze the rest. I used reduced fat lamb mince so nice and friendly to those watching their weight! Just finely chopped the onions as don't have a blender and the meat balls held together fine. Love hotchilli's suggestion of the mint and apricot in the side dish - I was thinking it would be nice to make an alternative with apricots in. Love it! Will make again and has given me confidence to try other tagine recipes. Oh and I might even buy a tagine! Used a big pot with a lid and all worked well.
