Hearty vegetable tagines include Baby Eggplant with Cilantro and Mint, and Butternut Squash, Shallots, Sultanas, and Almonds. Recipes for variations on couscous, the classic accompaniment to tagines, are also given plus plenty of ideas for fresh-tasting salads and vegetable sides to serve as part of your Moroccan feast.
