A tagine is a great starting point: we have Lamb, Beef and a tasty vegetarian option of Vegetable & Chickpea. Then you can add some chicken, like the Harissa Chicken, Lemon Chicken (with whole chicken breasts than can be cut into slices once cooked) or, for the calorie conscious, a few of our Moroccan-Spiced Chicken Pots for One.
