Hands down some of the easiest yet wow-factor dishes are those that land in a slow cooker. The slow, low nature of the cooking process allows more of the flavour to be released and to combine with the complementary ingredients of the dish. I’m on a mission this winter to create more plant-based slow-cooked dishes and I think this tagine will win hearts and tummies over.
