Today we decided to do a nice Christmas lunch with my colleagues at work. We’d been discussing this for a couple of days and we agreed the plan was to go to this ramen place we had tried before and we all liked it.

But when we were about to make a reservation, it turned out it was closed. arrggg :/. a classic Monday issue!

So debating what to do next, a Moroccan colleague suggested a Moroccan place he knew near CHUV. I was very curious because I’d never tried tajine before and it sounded like a nice culinary exploration

So we went there and all of us we ordered this traditional dish. The tajine arrived in its classic cone-shaped clay pot, and when they lifted the lid, it smelled really nice!. The slow-cooked chicken with preserved lemons, olives, and a blend of spices I couldn’t quite identify, make the dish really appealing.

It was not surprising that the taste was even better, with a balance of sweet and salty flavors. Based on what my colleague described I tried it with warm bread and coscuous and the combination was really good.

I can’t believe I’d never tried this dish before. Really nice!
