Moroccan Chicken Stew Moroccan Chicken Stew
A one pot meal filled with great and interesting flavors. It’s not thick like a beef stew or gumbo, so it can be served up on a large platter for entertaining dinner guests. I like using whole chicken thighs; it’s cheaper, and produces a juicier taste.

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. -

Chicken Tagine with Olives and Fried Potatoes Chicken Tagine with Olives and Fried Potatoes
The Moroccan tagine is a traditional Moroccan dish that varies from city to city, with each having its own cooking style. It's called a tagine because it's cooked over a very low heat in a tagine pot made of clay, which is of Moroccan origin and also found in Algeria and Tunisia. It is known for its unique shape and manufacturing process. Many dishes are cooked in it because it gives a very delicious flavor, and every home in Morocco has one.
