Last Friday Dom cooked a chickpea & aubergine tagine. The tagine was built up to be what only can be described as a unmitigated disaster by Dom but contrary to her tales of woe it was actually very tasty. She served the tagine with couscous that I flavoured with Harissa powder, lemon and black pepper. The flavours in the tagine were very good, subtle and not overly spicy. The aubergine was nice and the chick peas which were from dried were a delight. As a side note the chick peas were what had caused the tales of woe which we endured earlier on in the night. We had got them out and soaked them overnight but neither of us had realised that they needed boiling for an hour and half until nearer the time and therefore hindering the quick after work dinner that was intended. Dom however rose to the challenge and dinner was served at 19:30. Overall marks 8.75.
