"This orange vegetables tagine with peaches is an earthy dish, full of grounding flavours like yam, pumpkin, chickpeas, harissa, raisins and peaches. The perfect juxtaposition of sweet and savoury! The great secret of an authentic tagine is to simmer the ingredients over a low heat, so that everything remains deliciously moist and tender. If you do not have a tagine, feel free to cook the dish in a heavy casserole dish or dutch oven...."
