Moroccan Vegetable And Chickpea Tagine Recipes

Steps:

• Fry the shallots in the oil for 5 mins until they are softening and browned. Add the squash and spices, and stir for 1 min. Pour in the stock, season well, then add the prunes and honey. Cover and simmer for 8 mins.
• Add the peppers and cook for 8-10 mins until just tender. Stir in the coriander and mint.
• Pour 400ml boiling water over the couscous in a bowl, then stir in the harissa with ½ tsp salt. Tip in the chickpeas, then cover and leave for 5 mins. Fluff up with a fork and serve with the tagine, flaked almonds and extra mint.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a tagine or Dutch oven over medium heat; cook and stir onions and garlic until softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Add turmeric, cumin, agave nectar, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and black pepper and stir until onion mixture is evenly coated. Add just enough water to cover the bottom of the tagine; add carrots and salt. Cook over medium-low for 12 minutes.
• Mix chickpeas into carrot mixture, adding more water if needed to cover the bottom but keeping the sauce thick. Cook mixture for 7 minutes.
• Serve tagine with lemon wedges and cilantro.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Place the potatoes, fennel, carrot, pepper and onion in a roasting tin with 3 tbsp oil, the cumin, fennel and coriander seeds, and salt and pepper. Use your hands to coat everything, then roast for 30 mins, stirring once, until tinged and the potatoes are cooked through.
• Meanwhile, heat a large pan over a medium heat and add the remaining 1 tbsp oil. Fry the garlic until fragrant, then add the tomatoes, chickpeas, wine, orange zest and juice, cinnamon stick and prunes. Bring to the boil and simmer while the vegetables roast. Add roasted vegetables to the tin and stir. Return to a simmer and cook for 15-20 mins. Serve over warm couscous scattered with toasted flaked almonds, if using.

Steps:

• Heat 1 tbs of oil in a pan. Add onion, garlic, and spices. Fry over a low to medium heat for five minutes until golden.
• Add the chickpeas, tomatoes and stock. Cook for 20 minutes.
• Stir fry the vegetables in a separate frying pan or wok with remaining oil, then add to the chickpea mixture.
• Bring to the boil, cover and simmer for a further 20 minutes.
• To finish, add half the yogurt, adjust seasoning to taste and serve.
• For the herb yogurt dressing mix the remaining yogurt, chopped parsley and cilantro together.
• Serve with the tagine.

Steps:

• Heat the broth in a tagine or in a thick-bottomed pot with a lid.
• Add the spices/herbs and seasonings to the broth and whisk to ensure there are no lumps. You can use a real whisk if you want, but I just use a fork.
• Finely dice the onion and place into the seasoned broth. Simmer, covered.
• Finely dice the chillis and add to the simmering onions. Keep the seeds if you like your food hot, otherwise remove the seeds before dicing.
• While this is simmering, dice the zucchini and yellow squash. Then cut the bell peppers into long strips. Set both aside in a bowl.
• Cut chicken breast in half the long way. Take each half and slice along the short axis so that the slices are not more than 1/4" thick. This is easiest to do if the chicken is partially frozen.
• Add the chicken to the simmering onions and chillis, ensuring that the slices are submerged.
• Add the zucchini, yellow squash, and bell peppers. Do not stir. It's ok if they are not submerged, the steam will cook them.
• Re-cover and simmer 45 minutes. Serve over couscous or rice. Alternatively, remove chicken and veggies, increase heat to "high", and reduce the sauce. Add chicken and veggies back, heat throughout, and serve as a stew.
