    I tried this recipe after seeing it in the May edition of Good Food Magazine. I was deeply disappointed with the end result. We often eat middle eastern inspired dishes but have never tasted anything like this. The combination of wine, cinnamon and orange gave the tagine a rather unpleasant Mulled wine undertone. This clashed with the fennel rather than complimented it. It took the addition of new flavours to mask this taste and make the dish palatable. Deeply disappointed!

    I made a few adaptations: 1. I curshed the cumin, fennel and corriander seeds, and used powdered cinnamon. 2. cut the fennel into smaller chunks, as it's quite a strong taste. 3. used vegetable stock, instead of red wine, 4. added a little fresh green chillie 5. served with rice rather then couscous DELICIOUS!

    I tried this dish last weekend and it was GREAT. I quite like the addition of wine, which gave an interesting taste to the dish (avoids the tomatoes to be too overpowering). great with the couscous and toasted almonds!

    Made this last night and had to make a few adaptations to the sauce. The orange was quite strong and bitter in it, added cumin powder, spiced paprika powder, chilli, ground coriander and worcester sauce. It may have been down to the face that the oranges were not great, but defiantly needs spices in the sauce. Also tried leeks in the veg mix and worked great!

    I too made a few changes, which I think really made the difference. There was no fennel or fennel seeds available where I live so I used butternut squash instead and used a little tarragon instead of the fennel seeds to keep the slight linqourise/anissed flavour. This was probably why I didn't find the issues with the fennel taste clashing as other people mentioned. Other than that though i left everything else as stated. I was very apprehensive when i made the wine sauce as it tasted so strongly of the wine. However, once I put in the veg and left it for a few hours to 'mature' it was really lovely when we had it that evening and the leftovers the next day.

    Follow recipe exactly and it tasted just great! I am surprised with the negative comments. My guests all loved this dish... I didn't read the comments before making this dish otherwise I would not have made it.
