Chicken, Aubergine and Tomato Tagine

Introducing to you my current favourite menu idea - TAGINES! Tagine is a dish from North Africa and is named after the special earthenware pot in which it is cooked (thanks Wiki). I have eaten tagines at restaurants but never attempted to make it at home and I don't even own a clay pot! With all the research that has been going into finding new menu options lately, I read a few Tagine recipes and decided I would give it a try. This recipe comes out of Express Cook. It's perfect for a wintery day, and though its summer here in NZ, it been raining cats and dogs lately and the tagine just works great on a cold and rainy day
