After having first made the error and purchasing an ornamental serving tagine, which is pretty useless except as kitchen decoration, I bought a Le Creuset tagine, with a cast iron base. This allows me to cook my entire recipe in one pot, start to finish. While not cheap, it is, in my opinion, worth it if you to want cook Moroccan food. There are cheaper full-functioning tagines in the market. Should you neither desire another piece of kitchen equipment or think you won't use it often, then a Dutch oven will also work for this recipe.
