3.Add zucchini, cook, stirring, about 10 minutes or until zucchini is just tender. Meanwhile, make couscous.

As with the word casserole, tagine also has two different culinary meanings. Originally from Moroccan kitchens and now found in many of ours, a tagine is the earthenware, cone-lidded vessel in which the spicy, fragrant North African stew with the same name is cooked. The lid serves as a vent, allowing the steam to escape, thus concentrating the flavours of the food inside.
