Toss in half your parsley and your chopped preserved lemon and let cook for another 5 minutes.
Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

Notes

Adapted from Vegetarian Tagines and Couscous by Ghillie Basan. You can use the juice of 1 lemon instead of preserved lemon if you can not find it but will not be as sweet.
