Best 7 Tajine Bil Khodar Vegetable Tagine Recipes

VEGETABLE TAGINE

Steps:

• Combine Tagine Spice Mix ingredients.
• Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F.
• Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large, heavy-based pot over medium high heat. Add garlic and onion, cook until onion is wilted (~ 1 1/2 minutes), then remove to a large bowl. Scrape out any remaining garlic bits from pan (so they don't burn).
• Add pumpkin / squash and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes or until lightly golden on most sides. Remove to same bowl.
• Add 2 tbsp olive oil. Cook eggplant for 3 minutes until tinged with gold on most sides, remove to same bowl.
• Add 1 tbsp oil if pot is looking dry. Add capsicum and cauliflower, cook for 2 minutes until the cauliflower is a bit golden on the edges. Remove into bowl.
• Add tomato and cook for 1 minute. Add Spice Mix, stir for 1 minute.
• Add all vegetables back to pot. Add water (it should just about cover the vegetables, they will sink), salt and pepper. Stir, bring to simmer on stove, then transfer to oven for 30 minutes. (Alternatively simmer on low stove, but stir gently otherwise veg may breakdown too much.)
• Remove from oven, add beans and chickpeas. Simmer for 15 minutes uncovered on stove on medium-low to cook the beans and reduce the sauce.
• Stir through lemon juice and zest. The idea here is that some of the veg (butternut, cauliflower) breaks down a bit to slightly thicken the sauce. It also gets thicker left overnight.
• For a traditional experience, serve over couscous. Otherwise, try white, brown, or basmati rice, or quinoa. Or, serve just as is like a chunky stew. For a low-carb option try cauliflower rice! I like to top mine with a dollop of yogurt, a sprinkle of almonds, coriander/cilantro and a pinch of paprika or cayenne.

TAJINE BIL KHODAR (VEGETABLE TAGINE)

Steps:

• Take one of the preserved lemons and dice it into 1/4 inch pieces and set aside. Slice the remaining preserved lemon into thin slices and set aside.
• Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or Moroccan tagine over medium heat. Add onions to pan and sauté 5 minutes or until translucent. Add vegetable broth, hot water, lemon juice and next 7 ingredients (through cinnamon) and bring to a boil.
• Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 30 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Add diced lemon and artichokes to pan and simmer 5 minutes. Garnish with lemon slices. Serve the tagine over quick-cooking couscous.

VEGETABLE TAGINE WITH APRICOTS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until soft. Add the carrot, garlic, ginger, cumin seeds, paprika, cinnamon and saffron and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds or until aromatic.
• Add stock and bring to the boil. Add the pumpkin, beans and apricots. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes or until the pumpkin is tender. Add dates, chickpeas and lemon rind and stir to combine.
• Spoon among serving bowls and top with coriander. Serve with yogurt.

A VERY GOOD TAGINE/TAJINE (VEGETARIAN)

Steps:

• Chop the onions, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, apricots, and dice the sweet potato into small pieces.
• Spray a pan with spray oil, fry the mushrooms and onions for a few minutes on a high heat.
• Add everything else, then reduce heat and simmer for at least 1hr (longer if you've got the time, it gets better!).

MOROCCAN CHICKEN AND VEGETABLE 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.

VEGETABLE TAGINE

Steps:

• Heat half the oil in a tagine over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, parsley, & cilantro to the oil. Cook the onion & herbs for 5 minutes.
• Add the bouillon cube, spices, tomato, & the rest of the oil to the onion mixture & continue to cook on low heat for 10 minutes.
• Before adding the potatoes sprinkle them with paprika & pepper. Then place the water, potatoes, olives, & lemon into the tagine. Cover & cook over low heat for 1 hour.
