Ingredients:
- Vegetables:
1 onion
1 ripe tomato diced
1 carrot
1 courgette
1/2 red bell pepper
100 gr. green beans
1 turnip
A handful black olives without pit
A handful fresh or frozen peas
- Sauce:
A bunch of flat lead parsley
1 garlic clove
1 tsp. Paprika
1/2 cm ginger root or 1 tsp. ginger powder
1/2 tsp. Tumeric
1/4 tsp. Cumin
salt and pepper to taste
1 Tbsp. Olive oil
4 Tbsp. Water
Directions:
- Chop the onion and put in the bottom of you tagine dish, or a heavy based skillet. Add the diced tomatoes and mix. This forms the bottom of your dish.
- Cut the rest of the vegetables in long finger-like pieces.
- Start “building” you tagine. First you build like a tipi of carrots, and than you keep on building layers around, changing vegetables as you go so it becomes a big colourful veg tipi.
- Once done, you add the olives and peas around. You can also add a few cherry tomatoes.
- Put the sauce ingredients in a blender and blend to get a smooth sauce.
- Add the sauce all around and cover with your tagine cover. If you are not using a tagine dish, you can cover with aluminium foil and make some wholes so that the steam can escape. Or if you have a pot cover with a couple of wholes it could work too.
- Put on the stove on high heat until it starts boiling and bubbling and than switch to a very low pit and let cook, covered, until done.
- Cook for about 45 minutes or until you the vegetables are soft. From time to time check if there are enough liquids in there. If not, add a BIT of water if needed.
