Main Course

All the warmth of a tagine with none of the fuss. Chicken pieces are rubbed with our organic Moroccan Spice, a warm blend of cumin, coriander, turmeric, cinnamon, ginger and a touch of cayenne, then roasted on one pan with chickpeas, sweet peppers, mushrooms, sweet potato and red onion until the skin is crisp and the chickpeas are crunchy. Finish with lemon, fresh herbs and a spoonful of yogurt if you like.
