This recipe was not a winner. The end product just didn't have much flavor, which was surprising because the recipe calls for such a nice mix of spices. I substituted kale for the spinach, but I don't think that that would have made much of a difference in the end flavor. I found that sprinkling some additional coconut on top of the dish added a little bit of flavor. I won't be making this recipe again.

I was a bit skeptical about this recipe at first because of the combination of raisins and olives. However, I followed the recipe closely and was very pleased with the results. The only change I made was to substitute canned plum tomatoes for fresh. As suggested, I served this tagine over quinoa instead of couscous. This recipe is a keeper.
