Moroccan Tagine Feast Spread

ELEGANT photograph of a traditional Moroccan tagine freshly opened at the table, aromatic steam billowing from the cone-shaped terracotta lid being lifted to reveal tender slow-cooked lamb shanks with preserved lemons, green olives, and saffron-golden sauce, the meat falling off the bone, surrounded by a mosaic of small dishes containing fluffy couscous, harissa paste, fresh mint tea in ornate silver glasses, warm flatbread, and a dish of roasted almonds with honey, the table set with intricate zellige tile patterns, warm candlelight illuminating the feast, exotic Moroccan riad atmosphere.
