Method

  1. Put the couscous in a large bowl, pour over the hot stock, cover with clingfilm and leave to swell. Fluff up with a fork, then add the almonds, sultanas, harissa and coriander.
  2. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in large pan or tagine. Add the onions and garlic, cooking gently until soft. Add the ginger and spices then season. Cook for a couple of minutes, then add the carrots, pumpkin, courgettes and potatoes and stir well. Top with the preserved lemon, tinned tomatoes and a glass of stock. Simmer with a lid on for 1/2 hour, or until the vegetables are almost tender.
  3. Add most of the herbs, green beans, chickpeas, olives and a little more stock and cook until the beans are just tender. Scatter over the rest of the herbs and serve with the couscous.

    Having been to Marrakech this year, I was keen to try some authentic Morrocan dishes of my own. This one ticks all the boxes and works well in the slow cooker. I cook the onions and spices in a frying pan, tip into the slow cooker with the first round of vegetables & stock and leave all day on medium. Towards the end of the afternoon I add the second round of ingredients and turn up to high. Job done! Forgot to mention the cous cous is particularly nice!

    I only made half as I couldn't fit so much in the saucepan! I think I should have used all of the spices though, instead of just half measurements as it wasn't as flavouful as I thought it was going to be considering the variety of spices that went in.

    There was a huge amount and I reduced it. I made the courgettes and carrots as stated but didn't use the squash or the potato. I also used a handful of peas instead of beans. I did add a red pepper though. I think the reduction in bulk means that the flavours go further as it was all very tasty.

    No tagine I've ever experienced in morroco contains chopped tomatoes. I'm sorry but it just hasn't not. The classic vegetable tagine you'll get everywhere in morroco is carrot and potato and it has a loose but rich and spicy juice. No tomato in sight. Sorry I'm sure this is lovely but i do think there is alot of chopped tomato overuse in this country.

    I thought this was delicious. There was a lot, but after it does say 'serves 8'. It was a bit runny, but I cooked mine in the bottom oven of an Aga and as such it didn't really have much of a chance to reduce and thicken. I have to say, though, a bit more on the spices front would have been nice. However, it made a fantastic soup the next day, whizzed up with some cream. Yum. And my mum loved it as her Mothering Sunday present!

    This has become a family favourite - with, as per Em's comment above, a little extra of the spices and herbs added for a more intense flavour. There is enough to feed 12 people - not just 8 and we're big eaters - but this makes it a great batch cook.

    This makes a very mild but tasty tagine - I prefer this as I generally serve home made harissa with it, so diners can make their meal as hot as they wish. It would serve 8 with some left over - if I was going to freeze it I would think about leaving out potatoes as they never seem to be the same texture once defrosted.

    This was my first attempt of making a tagine. I was tempted by the reviews that I had read. Wow it was a great success, it is mild but tasty. A great hit with the vegetarians in the family. Will definitely be making this again.

    Just made this - did half the quantity and replaced the sultanas with cranberries as that's what we had in. Absolutely stunning dish. Love it!
