Chicken Tagine

Lemony Chicken Tagine in an instant!

Don’t hate me, but this recipe doesn’t use the Thermomix. I know right? But it is so tasty that I can’t just keep it to myself. I’ve made this using my other great love, my new digital pressure cooker, my “Instant Pot”. Don’t panic if you don’t have one; you can cook this in any pressure […]
