Use a flavorful broth or stock to make the sauce for your tagine. This will help to enhance the flavor of the lamb and vegetables.
Season your tagine with a variety of spices, such as cumin, coriander, paprika, and ginger. This will give the dish a warm and inviting flavor.
Cook the tagine on low heat for a long period of time. This will help to tenderize the lamb and allow the flavors to meld together.
