This was excellent. I made the vegetarian version, using 2 cans of garbanzo beans instead of one. I also skipped the recommended spices and seasoned it with ras al hanout, a Moroccan spice blend. The ras al hanout gave it a rich, complex flavor. This was a great easy, inexpensive and healthy meal.

Thanks for the recipe it was awesome! I am not usually one to adhere to the exact ingredients. I generally use these recipes as a base and modify it to my liking. Here is what I did: I am a vegetarian so I substituted the chicken for "Morning Star chicken strips" which were delicious. I definitely recommend that you do NOT leave out the chicken/veg. chicken part of this recipe. It gives it a good texture. In my little food processor I minced 4 cloves of garlic, 1 WHOLE onion, and 1 red pepper. I sauteed this mixture in olive oil for a few minutes than added the MorningStar chicken strips and some fresh ground ginger. I added a bit of crushed red pepper, a dab of garlic paste, and a splash of both lime and lemon juice. Note: I do not like REALLY sweet food so I omitted the sugar and it was fine. I also purchased pre-cut and pre-peeled ButterNut squash from Trader Joe's so that saved some time, all I had to do was throw it in. I found the squash was taking longer to cook than I thought so I cubed it even smaller and that worked. I also used frozen peas instead of carrots because that's all I had on hand. I did not have Cayenne pepper but the pepper flakes worked just as well and I also added a pinch of curry, dried Cilantro, a tsp. of Garam Masala (as suggested) and a few splashes of a spice I have called "Gardenia". Gardenia spice consists of: Paprika, cumin, chili, ginger, corriander and tumeric. Note: I used additional Cumin as well. Everything else was the same except for t

This was a delicious, chilly night dinner. We left out the chicken and added ginger, cinnamon, turmeric, and cumin as suggested and it was great. We didn't have any broth so I simmered carrots and onion in water for a while before starting the recipe. It was great and even my young children loved it!

This is great...my first experience w/ Moroccan food. I added 1/2 tsp of cayenne to make it spicy, and 1/2 tsp each of cumin and cinnamon. I made it without the chicken and didn't even miss it!

Well, I don't know what a "Tagine" is supposed to taste like, which is why I'm giving this recipe 4 stars instead of 3. Personally I wasn't crazy about this recipe; although the tastes were okay I wasn't crazy about the TEXTURES of these foods mixed.

This is an amazing dish! I followed the recipe but then per other reviews, I added in some additional spices (cumin, garam masala, ground ginger, curry powder) and it was fantastic. Paired with some flatbread and the flavors were delicious. I also added some cilantro prior to serving. This dish will now become a staple in my house!

This was not the best Moroccan recipe I have ever tried. It was not very spicy or flavorful. I added cinnamon and it was a lot better. If you like a chicken and vegetable stew with mild flavor, this might be to your liking. Of course, this must be served over cous-cous for the full effect and satiety.

Awesome. Did what others suggested and put in some fruit. . .I had a nice nectarine on hand. . .amazing. Immediately sent the recipe to a couple of friends.

good, flavorful dish

Excellent! I've made this several times now and LOVE it. Cook just until the squash is softened, add the garbanzo beans last. One of my favorite recipes for sure, and very easy.

This isn't a bad recipe, it just isn't anything great. We ate it, but I don't think that I will be making it again.

This was great! I made it for a Moroccan Dinner party and everyone loved it. I followed the suggestions and added 1T ginger root paste with the garlic. Then added 1 tsp Tumeric, 1 tsp Cumin and 1/2 tsp Cinnamon with the other spices. In the last few mins I added a handful of Cilantro. I omitted the chicken because I was making a side dish - and it was perfect.

My family loves this dish. Even my very young children gobble it up. I've tried it with both yams and squash and have liked it equally. It had a nice sweet flavour. I have used some of the recommendations from others - namely adding ginger and using yams and have never felt the dish was bland.

This is a great recipe -- takes a while to prepare, but it's not difficult. I added a bit more cayenne because my husband prefers things spicier and it was wonderful. Couscous goes great with this. I just used a boxed couscous that took 5 mins to prepare.

This smelt awful cooking and in order to make this taste good enough to eat I had to 'rescue' it by adding so many extra spices etc... that are not in the recipe that I can't rate it well. I made the vegetarian version and felt that the coriander was too overpowering - it would probably be better with fresh coriander. In the end I managed to salvage it enough to eat, but my husband and children didn't like it at all. I won't be making it again.

I've made this a few times and think it's great! I've tried it both with the butternut squash, and with sweet potatoes (yams) when I had no squash -- either will work fine. Instead of ground coriander (I don't have any) I use fresh coriander -- cilantro. I chop about 1 1/2T and it gives it a pretty look and great flavor. Last time, I also added 1/2t cumin, as well as 1/4 cup raisins. It has a nice sweet/salty flavor -- would be great with fresh lemon wedges as a garnish, as well. To make it more filling, last time I cooked a couple cups of basmati rice and stirred it in at the last minute... not so soupy, but still a nice consistency, and it goes a bit farther.

Very good. I did add some cumin, coriander, fresh grated ginger, garam masala, and kashmiri masala and rehydrated TVP instead of the chicken. I also added an overripe banana, strange as it sounds, it added a nice sweetness.
