This tagine was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have liked it more if I had used less dates. Otherwise, the recipe was easy to follow and the chickpeas were cooked perfectly.

I'm not sure what went wrong with this tagine. I followed the recipe exactly but it turned out bland and watery. I think I might have used the wrong type of chickpeas. Will definitely try this recipe again with a different type of chickpeas.

This tagine was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I would have liked it more if I had used less harissa. Otherwise, the recipe was easy to follow and the chickpeas and dates were cooked perfectly.

This tagine was easy to make and the flavors were good, but it wasn't anything special. I think I would have liked it more if I had used fresh dates instead of dried ones. Overall, it was a decent meal but not one that I would make again.

I had high hopes for this tagine but it was a bit disappointing. The flavors were not as complex as I expected and the chickpeas were a bit too firm. I think I'll try a different tagine recipe next time.

I've made this tagine several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The balance of flavors is perfect and it's so easy to make. I usually serve it over rice but it's also great with couscous or quinoa. Love this recipe!
