tangines

This tagine was made with turmeric, ground ginger, the chopped flesh of preserved lemon, tomatoes, ghee, and saffron. One interesting thing that Lgrizmi did is crush the saffron threads in a warm bowl with salt to get maximum aroma from this costly spice. La Maison does not use cumin, which is commonly called "lazy wife's spice" or "single man's spice," Nahir informed us, because it's often used instead of a mixture of more complex seasonings.
