I love the complex flavors of tajines, with their sweet highs and nuanced undertones from the spices. One of the best I've made at home is from the Moroccan Modern cookbook, and I've come up with my own version that uses sous vide to perfectly cook the meat.

I like to serve this dish over some grains like farro and quinoa, or some cauliflower rice. The honey in this recipe isn't marked as optional but if you really are trying to reduce your sugar intake you can use less or leave it out, but the flavor balance will be affected.
