What kind of tagine did you get? Is it the one with glossy paint or the one without? If it is the one without the paint, natural, you must treat it before using it. You must completly emerge it in room temperature water for about 2 days.

Try this: It is a dish of chicken and potatoes and green or red olives.

You'll need, depending on the sixe of the tagine.

Chicken pieces (leg, thigh, breast)

potatoes peeled and sliced

onions well chopped

garlic about 2-3 cloves

chopped spoonful of parsley and cilantro

salt, pepper, tumeric,ginger powder, cumin, a dash of each.



Make sure the stove is turned on low heat as the tagine will crack under high heat. Add a little olive oil to the tagine.

Add the chopped onions, garlic, parsley, cilantro and spices. Stir well. Add the chicken and brown on both sides. Add the potatoes and then add some water to slightly cover the potatoes. Cover the tagine withthe lid and let simmer until meat and poatoes are done. Top with some red or green olives. Be sure to check the tagine to see if you should add some water. Be sure to add warm water coz the tagine can crack from high heat and high heat and sudden cold water. There are so much you can cook with the tagine. I can give you some ideas.
