Recipedia, 2007-03-05 16:03:52:Hi Alan. As the oven-cooked recipes tend to be adaptations of a traditional tagine recipe, there's no real reason why you can't use one of the recipes you've found and simply cook in the tagine rather than in a casserole.
Two things to watch out for:
Quantities - you may have to scale down the recipe to fit your tagine.
Cooking time - you may find your recipe cooks more quickly in a tagine, so start checking for readiness at maybe halfway through. This is also a good idea as regular inspection lets you make sure the dish stays moist and doesn't burn or stick.
hi,
I saw these dishes on thre travel channel's Bizzare Foods program and I just have to have one.

We bought the tangine from Lakeland and for the first dish we used the beef recipe shown on the leaflet which came with the tagine. Firstly even by sticking religiously to the ingredients, they wouldn't all fit in. Secondly 190c was far too hot and caused the contents to erupt out, and the cooking time of 1 1/2hrs was far too quite. These dishes are supposed to have long, lower cooking times. Other than that it tasted very good but the beef could have been more tender.
