Tagines of Poultry, Lamb & Vegetables

Updated June 10, 2026

The clay braise that glazes itself under its conical lid: chicken with preserved lemon and olives, lamb with prunes and almonds (the Andalusi sweet-savory grammar), the seasonal sweet-savory tagines of Fez, and the meatless tagine of the seven vegetables. A tagine isn't a journey, it's a Tuesday. Aromatics low, meat centered, vegetables arranged, the lid unlifted.
