A slow cook version of a traditional Moroccan dish.
Method
- Add all the ingredients into the slow cooker and stir.
- Cover and cook on HIGH for 3 hours if you are using tinned veg or 4 hours for fresh veg.
Ingredients
2 Tins of potatoes, drained and chopped
1 Tin of carrots drained (or 2 fresh carrots diced)
1 Tin of chickpeas, drained
1 Tin of tomatoes
1 Onion, finely sliced
2 Garlic cloves, chopped
2 Teaspoons ground cumin
2 Teaspoons ground coriander
2 Tablespoons oil
1 Handful dried fruit
1 Stock cube
1 Mug of water
Pinch salt and pepper
Chef’s tip: Sprinkle over fresh parsley or coriander if you have some and serve with flatbreads or couscous.
Use fresh vegetables instead of tinned. Cut the vegetables into pieces so they will cook evenly (roots 2cm, softer veg 3cm). Add 1 teaspoon of powdered or fresh ginger for extra heat.
If you like your Tagine on the sweeter side add 1 tablespoon honey or syrup, and 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon if you have it.
Nutrition tip: 30g of dried fruit, like apricots, count as one of your 5 a day. Dried apricots are a good plant-based source of iron, important in making red blood cells which carry oxygen around the body.
