Winter Vegetable Tagine
This Winter Vegetable Tagine is a super duper recipe for making the most of winter vegetables and chances are if your a cook that likes to dabble in spices from around the world, then you may already have Ras el Hanout in your kitchen cupboards too. So what's stopping you - make this hearty flavour packed dish.

D said this is perhaps one of the best Tagines I have ever made and that is high praise indeed as I have made many in the past. I have to agree with him and I am not that into sweet root vegetables either, but here I was totally swayed. I think the slow cooking benefited the dish big time as the flavours infused the vegetables. Its best to serve this Tagine with couscous, but I didn't have any at home, so it was served with Basmati rice - twice!
I have absolutely no doubt that Sarah Beattie would be gracious and grant me permission to share the recipe for this Winter Vegetable Tagine on my blog, but the cookbook: Meat Free Any Day is reasonably priced, not like those glossy hardback coffee table cookbooks. This is one cookbook you will use if your a down to earth home cook like me, as its real proper food that you really want to eat. You can find the full recipe in Sarah Beattie Author of Meat-Free Any Day: Food For All Reasons. Check out Sarah Beatties Facebook Page too. I sharing this with Cook Once, Eat Twice hosted by Searching For Spice.

I am forever in awe of people who can make an excellent tagine - mine always end up sweetish disappointments. Looks like a perfect winter dinner!
ReplyDeleteJoey,i think it does take practice - but the slow cooking def. is on the right path.
Deletelooks really lovely - I don't cook tangines much so this sounds like it would be a nice change
ReplyDeleteIt does certainly make a lovely change, just slow cook it for best results.
DeleteYes, tagine is just the right thing at the moment! I like the idea with the root veg too.
ReplyDeleteVegHog I wasn't too sure of the root veg at first but it really does work as the flavours infuse.
DeleteI still need to invest in a tagine! This dish looks delicious and perfect for a cold evening. You cannot beat fresh, seasonal vegetables. Popping over from #CookOnceEatTwice x
ReplyDeleteKirsty, you can make this in a slow cooker, I have a tagine but don't use it that often, though it is impressive to bring it to the table when you have guests.
DeleteIt looks absolutely beautiful! A tagine is a lovely way to serve winter root vegetables like these and being able to eat it twice is always a good thing. Thank you so much for joining in with #CookOnceEatTwice
ReplyDeleteThank you Corina, I hope to join in again this month. I often make dishes to last 2 - 3 days :)
