Equipment

Ingredients

…for the marinade (chermoula)…

…for the tagine…

  • ½ can Chickpeas
  • ½ can Chopped Tomatoes
  • ½ Broccoli
  • 2 Large Potatoes cut into big wedges
  • 2 Carrots cut into large sticks
  • 1 Courgette cut into large sticks
  • 1 Parsnip cut into large sticks
  • 1 Large Onion
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • ½ Cup Water or Vegetable Broth

…optional…

  • Dried Fruits apricots and/or raisins
  • Olives green and/or black
  • Preserved Lemon Wedges

Instructions

  • Prepare the marinade by simply mixing all the ingredients in a medium bowl. Cover and set aside.
  • Add olive oil to the tagine and sweat the onions on medium heat with some salt and 1 tablespoon of water. If (like me) you have an induction stovetop, cook the onions in a pan instead.
  • Add chopped tomatoes and cook down for another couple of minutes.
  • Stir in around ⅓ of the marinade, mix well and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Then stir in the chickpeas too and the water/broth. If using a pan, transfer the mixture to the bottom of the tagine now, otherwise skip this step.
  • Place the broccoli florets and dried fruit (if using) in the middle of the dish, then start building a teepee-shaped dome with the vegetable wedges/sticks making sure to alternate them. Finish with some olives and preserved lemon wedges (if using).
  • Spoon the remaining marinade over the vegetables and put the top of the tagine on.
  • Simmer over medium-low heat for around 45-50 minutes (until all vegetables are fork tender), basting the vegetables with the juice collected at the bottom of the dish every 10 minutes. Alternatively bake in a 180°C-350°F preheated oven for 90 minutes (or until vegetables are cooked through). If cooking in the oven you won’t need to baste the vegetables with the juices.
  • Garnish with freshly coriander or parsley and serve over some couscous or with flat bread.
