  • STEP 2.Heat some olive oil in a tagine or a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until they are soft and translucent.
  • STEP 3.Add the marinated meat to the pot and brown it on all sides. This will help to develop the flavors.

  • STEP 6.Serve the tagine hot with couscous or crusty bread. Garnish with fresh herbs, such as cilantro or parsley, if desired.

Cooking Tips

  • If you don't have a tagine, you can use a Dutch oven or any large pot with a tight-fitting lid.
  • For a deeper flavor, you can brown the meat in batches before adding it to the pot.
  • If you can't find preserved lemon, you can substitute with fresh lemon zest and juice.

Storage and Serving

  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat the tagine gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of water or broth if needed to prevent it from drying out.
  • Serve the leftovers with couscous or rice for a quick and delicious meal.
