Sweet potato and zucchini tagine

The tagine is a lovely way to use the sweet potato's and zucchinis in this weeks veggie box. It also has potatoes and chickpeas so it could be a full meal on its own without the couscous. The spices are all available in the co-op, as is the couscous. It makes pretty tasty leftovers for lunch too.
