In honor of World Food Week, we’re off to Morocco for today’s’ recipe, where tagine is defined by a galaxy of spices, nuts and dried fruits. The dish gets its name from the stone pots in which it originated in the 9th century; those are optional for our recipe, but remember, the first thing you need as always is your endlessly versatile Sadie’s Kitchen!
