Strictly speaking, tagine is the name for the unique conical cooking pot used in Morocco but it’s become known as the generic name for a gently spiced slow-cooked stew often sweetened with dried fruit or honey. The balance between the sweetness of the fruits or honey and fragrance of the spices is a key element of refined Moroccan cooking and here the mix includes coriander, paprika, allspice, cassia and cardamon. On the side we’ve got a herbed couscous and a delicious Moroccan chilli sauce known as harissa.

Jewelled Jeera Rice and Moroccan Tagine, absolutely delicious! Will cook again soon.
Really tasty recipe, and good for the kids to learn with. Pink lemonade lovely too!

Moroccan tagine of butternut squash & chickpeas! Another quick and easy, yet super tasty meal! The rose petal harissa is brill too.
This looks so delicious! Thank you for sharing!
Our first attempt with our spicery spices , delicious ! Very impressed with the total package , i feel a new career coming on !!! Looking forward to our next creation , given to us by our daughter and son in law for Christmas.
Glad to hear you enjoyed making your first Spicery meal - here's to many more to come!
A lovely Moroccan themed dinner tonight. We made homemade flatbreads to accompany our chicken tagine, herb couscous and rose petal harissa. It was delicious!
Nice - great job on the homemade flatbreads! Happy spicing!
Very tasty meal. First try and loved it! Bring on the next meal
Great job - here's to many more great meals!
Great vegetarian Tagine. Very easy preparation and cooking but also a great tasty way to use up vegetables. The Harossa gives a delicious extra kick
Looks great, nice one!
Really lovely added fresh spinach at the end *****
Looks great - nice one! Happy spicing!
The Spicery’s kit made making a veggie Moroccan tagine for the first time so easy - this was super tasty and really different to my usual dinners.
Fantastic! Looks like a lovely warm and flavoursome dish!
My daughter made this (delicious) meal, using sweet potato and quorn pieces instead of meat as we are vegetarian. We were shocked at how good it was, it’s the best meal we have had since the start of lockdown!
YUM that looks delicious using sweet potato and quorn pieces- one for us to try ourselves!
Lovely flavours and very easy to cook, 1 pot wonder will be definitely ordering again
Wow this looks delicious- hats off to the chef!
This is so tasty! So easy to prepare with easy to follow instructions and the result is restaurant quality tasting food! Can’t wait to try more stuff!!
We are so glad you enjoyed it - looking forward to hearing about your creations!
Easy to cook and very tasty when done!
Nice and simple to make but still hits the spot - the best of both worlds! This looks great, Joan - we're glad to hear that you really enjoyed this.
Easy and so tastes fab
Yum! Great job, Catherine - this looks delicious!
Love love love. So tasty
Great work - we're so glad to hear how much you enjoyed this tasty tagine!
This is SO GOOD that I’m writing a review while I eat it. 10/10 would recommend. So easy to make, incredibly flavoursome.
Haha - that's what we like to hear! We're so glad you loved this one, Faith. Happy spicing!
Loved making and eating this. Surprised at the dessert too.
This looks great, Richard - we're so happy to hear that you enjoyed making it as much as eating it! Happy spicing!
A lovely, tasty meal! And very easy to do! Highly recommend!!
Tagine always goes down a treat at Spicery HQ - so simple to make, yet bursting with sweet, fragrant flavours and a lovely level of spice. We're so pleased to hear how much you enjoyed it too!
I fancied a change from a curry so tried the Moroccan Tagine with Rose Petal Harissa. It was amazing, sweet and spicy. The lamb was succulent and the vegetables melted in the mouth. The herb flavoured couscous was refreshing and soaked up all the delicious juices, whilst the harissa gave a real punch of flavour. I'm still salivating at the memory of it. As soon as I've finished writing the review I am going to order more.
We're so pleased to hear how much you enjoyed this kit, Robin - it certainly looks delicious! Great job, and happy spicing!
I've made this a couple of times. I have used lamb in the past which was great. Tonight I used chicken for a bit of a change. It too is tasty. The Tagine spicing is gentle, comforting and warming. The mint in the Couscous seasoning gives it a refreshing lift and the Harissa sauce gives a hot contrast. It works well in a slow cooker and is a real winter warmer, so a good kit to have in the cupboard.
This looks absolutely delicious, Robin! We're so pleased to hear how much you're enjoying our warming, comforting Tagine easy kit - definitely one to have in the cupboard as the seasons change and it gets cooler!
I have always wanted to have a tagine and at last bought one this year. So needed a recipe. Came here of course, first! Sent away for this spice recipe and collected the ingredients necessary. I already have the Curry Legends Cookbook and spices. This recipe was really easy to put together from scratch and I preheated my terracota tagine in a gas oven (mark 4) before hand. Then put it back in the oven for 50 minutes instead of on the hob. Worked perfectly. In fact I have just bought it again to use at Christmas with chicken instead of lamb. Probably for Boxing Day. Thank you Spicery. Success again.
This sound amazing, Martin - no doubt it tasted even more delicious cooked in a real tagine! We hope you enjoy it just as much when you have it again on Boxing Day. Happy spicing!
Very tasty and first time for me cooking Moroccan!
We're really pleased to hear that you enjoyed your first experience of cooking Moroccan food!
Excellent and easy to make.
Great to hear how much you loved the simplicity of this delicious dish, Garry!
Disappointing. Had expected more flavours
We're so sorry to hear that you found this one disappointing, Andrew. It's one of our most popular kits, and most people really love the flavours. Sorry that you didn't agree!
I think we got this one originally as a free sample as I don't like couscous and wouldn't normally choose a recipe with it in. I think I've reordered this at least 3 times now. It is so delicious! And I now like couscous!
Hooray - it's great to hear that this has become a firm favourite (and transformed you into a couscous lover!)
Great products, speedy delivery
RE-ordered this dish as we enjoyed it so much last time
Excellent service
Really tasty - we loved the harissa!
I cooked this for a dinner party, so easy and delicious! Stress free cooking!
The herbs and spices are great quality, ordering is easy and delivery fast. I love the little freebie sample:0)
Delivery arrived promptly, as usual! I ordered 2 Curry Legend kits for gifts and the Moroccan easy kit (not tried yet as I am currently still working my way through Curry Legend World Curries).
I love The Spidery. Their spices are very high quality and as fresh as can be. Their spice kits are a weekly treat for us; always something new and interesting and always easy to follow.
Delicious! perfect with friends
Everyone loves this dish!
We live in Alberta, Canada. It took 3 weeks to receive our order which I thought was reasonable.
Delivery is amazingly fast. Order one morning, receive the items the following day in the post. Instructions for recipes are always clear and easy to do. The family love the meals I make!
Very good arrived quicker than expected
A friend came to tea and we had lamb Moroccan Tagine. It was lovely and our friend commented that she didn't usually eat food that had spices. The Rose Petal Harissa was a great too, even though it was hot!
Lovely dish for a crowd - double or treble everything
Great service! Helped me with my order and even setup my account for me, without me having to ask, thanks!
Great gifts and they have been very well received. Fab recipes
Just some feedback re your on line ordering. I know you cant deliver to Australia - but when I visit my mother in Wales I place an order for delivery to her address in the UK. When I enter in my credit card details and a billing address is required (diffe
Very popular with me and friends - a delicious dish. i use it a lot
Clear website, good descriptions of items, prompt service
Order, purchased as a gift, arrived really quickly. Bought add a gift as I absolutely live the simplicity and taste of the recipes!
The website is easy to use and delivery was fast. What more could you ask for!
Easy to make contact and rectify my mistake with address. Spice packets look great, neat packaging that is practical- they'll stand up tidily in the cupboard. So pleased I found them, will be back!!
We've now bought the spices from the Spicery so we can make it anytime.
I'm now a complete convert and regularly order. The recipes are so easy, you just need half a dozen ingredients that I usually have anyway and they take about 20 mins to prepare. So easy and tasty. Highly recommend!
Prompt delivery. Good flavour and very easy to follow recipes. I like that all the ingredients to buy are easy to find and mainly things I buy anyway. A great way to add variety to our meals.
So quick and easy to make and tasted even better the next day!
We love the spicery , always good service and quality product
Order filled very promptly, which was great as most were sticking fillers for Christmas. Website easy to navigate.
Absolutely loved the spices, authentic taste and can play around with the recipes as well :D
Great, easy to prepare recipes even for a novice like me. Got a subscription as a present last Christmas and have been buying recipe kits since then. I cook them on a regular basis, for dinner parties with friends. Ordering is simple and delivery really fast.
This is our family's favorite recipe, not too spicy our 3 year old loves it.
This was great and up to The Spicery's own high standards.
Amazing. We had a proble with our order (my fault) and they sorted it straight out for me. Only had the butter chicken so far and it was so tasty will be ordering again
Speedy delivery, and delicious recipies as always.
Fantastic once the flavours develope.
Easy to cook yet delicious. Also quite different to typical curries so can be a nice one to show other people
I would buy from here again - service was excellent and I received my order through within days. I'd visited their premises for a meal and tour and we were made to feel very welcome and looked after.
I love this - delicious easy to cook and I can do it with chicken and with vegetables for my veggie family members
Not the first time I have bought this one, its a favourite (or should I say Flavour-ite!) Tried it with chicken, lamb, pork and even pheasant. Scrummy!
A tasty dish. Well worth cooking.
Fast service, excellent product, good value for money.
Always fun going through the Spicery recipes a picking out something new. Buying spices and review kits this way is always a great experience.
Difficult to find vegetarian options without ordering a subscription. It would be helpful to have all the recipe kits clearly marked if suitable for vegetarian options, and to have more options outside the subscription. Also, I didn't realise until I phoned that if I log in I get a wider choice of kits including some ex-subscription kits. However, staff on the phone were very pleasant and helpful, and ordering online was fine once I had chosen the kits.
Not as spicy as I thought it might be but very good all the same
Very tasty and easy to follow recipes. It takes a lot of hassle out of the cooking and having the individual spice packets is brilliant.
Lovely blend of spices, recipe easy to follow.
So lovely love Tagine, got to be a favourite
Very speedy delivery - next day! Haven't tried any of them as they are all Christmas presents but the stuff we've had from the Spicery has laways been very good.
Can not fault. Simply the best.
Was given a gift box as a present, very impressed with how easy they make the job of creating a wonderful meal. Bought more as presents for my friends for Christmas.
Fantastic recipes. Love them! Easy to do with basic ingredients.
Easy to cook from conrner-shop ingredients producing amazing flavours and using accessible cooking techniques. I used this for a dinner party and it worked really well. Plus I got the leftovers for lunch at work. All happy.
Delivery was very fast and well packaged. The packaging is very attractive but not sure if its recyclable. Cooking instructions are easy to follow and best of all the meal is gorgeous. A simple way to try something new that taste home cooked. Perfect! Thank you
Excellent idea really well done.
All you need in the bundles to create great dishes, all spices are fresh and just enough for each dish , and brilliant service
Ease of preparation, remaniscent of Marrakesh
Truly authentic, my friends now think I am a real chef.
Great service, price and super quick delivery. Kits are easy to use and make great dinners.
Very fast & efficient service. Well packaged. Yet to try the recipes.
This one is so so good and easy to make
Delivered straight away Have only tried one of the six meals ordered but was liked by all that ate it
Very good spice's and easy to follow recipes.
This is a great way for easy, delicious meals. Good value for money without having the hassle of buying many spices and never having the right ones!
I used chicken and it was so fragrant. The house smelt so wonderful, very evocative of our favourite Turkish dishes. Felt like we were on holiday!
Have used these before .....makes great curries has all the spices included very easy to use. I have brought these ones for a 'curry' lover.
Really delicious, there is no way that I could recreate the spice mixtures
Delivery very quick. Bought for a present, and the person was really pleased with them. Would definately use this company again.
No problems ordered and stuff with me within one week good instructions on how to make dishes well thought out
Great spice kits, very easy to use and give great flavours to each dish
Very quick delivery
Quality of the spice kits are excellent, as are the free samples used my sample to make spicy apple chutney!
Really quick to arrive. Perfect condition.
Great product sent as gift
