Instructions
-
Prepare the Base
In a medium saucepan or a traditional tajine, heat 2 teaspoons of oil or ghee over medium heat. Add the Exotic Bazaar Moroccan Tagine Meal Base and sauté for 2-3 minutes to release its aromatic flavours. For a spicier dish, add a pinch of chilli at this stage. -
Add Chickpeas and Vegetables
Stir in the canned chickpeas along with their water, followed by the diced vegetables. Mix well to coat the vegetables in the luscious sauce. -
Simmer to Perfection
Add 50 ml of water if the mixture appears too thick. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking. -
Serve and Garnish
Once the vegetables are tender and infused with the tagine's flavours, your dish is ready to serve. Pair it with fluffy couscous and sides like a fresh green salad and creamy natural yoghurt. -
Elevate Your Dish
For the finishing touch, garnish with pitted olives and a sprinkle of chopped parsley. This adds a burst of colour and enhances the authentic Moroccan taste.
Pro Tip: Make It Your Own
The beauty of a tagine is its versatility. Feel free to customise the vegetables based on what's in season or your personal preferences. Sweet potatoes, eggplant, and green beans all make excellent additions.
