Veggie Tagine

This is a versatile dish made with seasonal veggies.
Feel free to use other “meaty” veggies!

Ingredients for 2 serves

  • 1 big zucchini
  • 2 carrots
  • 4 pumpkin wedges, can be any type of pumpkin
  • 1 big onion
  • 2 good ripened tomatoes
  • 1 cup of cooked chickpeas
  • Evoo
  • 2 pinches of Persian salt
  • 2 tbsp of Ras el Hanout

Method

  • Slice onion crosswise (to get the ring shape) of around 1cm with and create a bottom layer on your pan or tagine. This is Key. We want to allow this layer to get a bit caramelized by the end of the cooking time and will give the dish the yummiest soft onion you will ever taste.
  • Chop the rest of the veggies and length ways. Place in a bowl and sprinkle with the salt, olive oil and ras el hanout. Mix well until the veggies have a good coat of the oil and spices. Start laying them on top of the onion as you were creating a cute fire pit on a pyramid shape. You can fill up the middle with small pieces of the veggies, tomato, or other parts of the onion. Top with the chickpeas around the empty spaces.
  • Cook for around 30 min on medium to low heat keeping the lid on during the whole cooking.
  • Garnish with silver almonds and rose petals. Other fresh herbs are welcome too; parley, coriander, dill…. Absolutely a must is to have harissa paste by your side to create some spicy bites. Eat with good pita bread.
  • Enjoy!!

Variations:
If you have a tagine, that is great, but if you don’t have one, you can still do this dish on a pan with a lid or a pot. This is a versatile dish made with seasonal veggies. Feel free to use other veggies like capsicum, eggplant, parnis, cauliflower, potato, sweet potatoes… it has to be a meaty veggie with a cooking time of around 20 min. Feel free to add chicken or fish or add some other smoked paprika, turmeric, harissa spice blend for slight variations on flavours.
