Mixed Seafood Tagine Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pan and cook the onion and red pepper for about 5 mins until softened. Stir in the garlic, harissa and chopped tomatoes, and cook for about 10 mins until thickened. Add the frozen seafood and cook through, about 10 mins more.
• Put the couscous in a serving bowl, pour over boiling water to cover, then cover with cling film. Leave to soak while the tagine cooks, then stir in most of the coriander, the almonds, lemon zest and juice, and seasoning. Serve the tagine with the couscous and cut the remaining lemon half into wedges to squeeze over. Sprinkle over the remaining coriander and serve.

Steps:

• Combine first 7 ingredients in a large bowl. Place snapper fillets in a 13- x 9-inch baking dish; pour parsley mixture evenly over fillets. Cover and chill 2 hours, turning once.
• Combine tomato, garlic, and cumin in a large saucepan; place over medium heat. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, 8 minutes or until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, and add salt and pepper. (This mixture may be made 1 day ahead and chilled. Reheat before using.).
• Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add carrot and onion; top with tomato mixture. Cover and cook over medium heat 12 minutes or until carrot is tender. Remove from heat. Place fillets and parsley marinade on top of tomato mixture. Spread preserved lemon evenly over fillets. Sprinkle with olives. Cover and cook over medium heat 10 minutes or until fish flakes with a fork. Garnish, if desired.
• Yield.
• Makes 4 servings.

Steps:

• Note: Make sure the seafood you are using is already cleaned & removed from the shells.
• Mix the ingredients for the charmoula in a bowl then add the seafood & stir. Let marinate for 15-20 minutes.
• Mix the rest of the ingredients in a large tagine then heat, covered, over medium-low heat for 20-30 minutes.
• Stir the seafood & charmoula in to the tagine then recover & continue to cook for 15-20 minutes.

Steps:

• Mix 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/2 cup cilantro, parsley, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, ginger, cumin, salt, and saffron in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add cod and mix well. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pot or tagine. Layer onion rings, carrot matchsticks, and potato slices in the pot in that order. Remove cod from marinade and spread evenly over potatoes. Cover cod with green bell pepper rings and tomato strips. Sprinkle 1/4 cup cilantro on top. Pour marinade over cilantro.
• Cover pot tightly and cook over low heat until potatoes are tender and cod flakes easily with a fork, about 1 hour.

Steps:

• To make the chermoula, put the oil, garlic, cumin, paprika, three-quarters of the coriander and the salt in a small bowl. Add the lemon juice, then blitz with a hand blender until smooth. Spoon half over the fish fillets and turn them over to coat both sides. Set aside to marinate.
• Heat the oil and fry the onions and garlic until softened and starting to colour, about 4-5 mins. Add the cumin and paprika and cook for 2 mins more. Add the tomatoes, stock, olives and lemon zest, stir in remaining chermoula and simmer, uncovered for 10 mins.
• Stir in the peppers and potatoes, cover and simmer for 15 mins until the potatoes are tender. If freezing, reserve half the sauce and chill before freezing.
• Stir the remaining coriander into the tagine, then arrange the fish fillets on top (if freezing a batch, reserve 4 portions of fish), and cook for 4-6 mins until the fish is just cooked. Serve with basmati rice, boiled with a little saffron if you like.
