Decided I will try this recipe next. It uses a cast iron pan so I will use my tagine, turn the heat low and let it simmer until dinner time. I think it was tasty but not spicy enough for me.

Moroccan Vegetable Tagine Moroccan Vegetable Tagine
#nonindian - This is a signature dish of Morocco which is prepared in a special pan called the Tagine. Hence the name "Vegetable Tagine". It is very easy to cook. Healthy and nutritious, it is also hassle free, as you just need to arrange all the veggies in the tagine, drizzle some spices mixed with olive oil and cook, covered, on a low flame. It is that simple. No stirring required. So it is very good for the elderly and during pregnancy as it is slow cooked in steam. The veggies are cooked in steam and it can be relished with some plain steamed rice or paratha/ naan/chapatti for the Indian palate. But traditionally it is relished with some couscous. You can go ahead and add any veggies available and you will have a sumptuous and a delicious treat in front of you. So if you are able to get a Tagine, go ahead and give it a try.

Moroccan Lamb Tagine Moroccan Lamb Tagine
#nonindian - This is a classic Moroccan Dish where marinated lamb is slow cooked to perfection in a Tagine pot. This is my version of this popular cuisine, where I gave an Indian touch by adding some crushed kasuri methi and yoghurt. Rest of the spices used are very much a part of Moroccan cuisine. This is a yummy dish with a subtle flavour of the rose water, which can be substituted with saffron. There is a crunch to every bite with the presence of the dry fruits. Some sliced veggies like carrots and potatoes along with dates, prunes and apricots too, can be added. It is traditionally relished with couscous, but for the Indian palate rice or any Indian bread is perfectly fine. -

When you're short of time this is a dish full of flavour that will make your family think you've been working on it all day. As long as your garlic is already roasted (thank you Taylor) and your spice mix is pre-made, the whole dish will take just over 20 minutes to prepare
