Tagines can take all day. They can also take 20 minutes and right now, we’re loving our speedy version. We’ve used lamb mince to cut down cooking time and combined it with onions, sticky prunes, chickpeas and carrot. Seasoned with chermoula and cumin and served traditionally with couscous and scattered with fresh coriander, this is quick cooking done properly.

The FSA have advised that allergic reactions to rapeseed oil are rare.
