This recipe comes from the Souss, where argan oil is produced and is often used to flavour all sorts of dishes, including this tagine. You don’t need to use it, but if you’ve been to that part of Morocco and have eaten this tagine there, you’ll miss it if you don’t. Use Medjoul dates, pitted or unpitted as you wish, for this unusual tagine.
