A pot pie dish made with a puff pastry cup and the lid is so novel. When you tuck into the thoroughly loaded, fresh, and vibrant vegetable tagine you are hit with the warm spices and sweetness from the apricots and left with a delightful salty and tangy zing. The flakiness from the layers of pastry unfolds in your mouth in such a way that makes this dish a very agreeable union.
