Some days back, my husband bought some nice fresh fish at a very good price from a fishing village in the north of the island...
I just love fresh fish a lot and I enjoy creating different dishes out of them...
After the crispy fried whole fish I cooked last week, today I made a classic dish from my country : Fish Tajine!
It came out very delicious and today I have the pleasure sharing the recipe with you all, hope you'll give it a try soon!
Fish and Vegetables Tajine
The ingredients that I used for this delicious dish :
- Fresh fish, cleaned and cut
- Potatoes
- Carrots
- Coriander
- Red Pepper
- Tomatoes
- Green Olives
- Red Chili
For the marinade (Mix everything below to have a nice tasty and thick marinade!)
- Paprika / Black pepper / Lemon Confit / Ginger Powder / Cumin Powder / Turmeric Powder / Olive Oil / Salt
Steps of preparation :
Start by placing a bed of onions , carrots and potatoes as you can see in the below photo. Place them at the bottom of the tajine...
Marinate each fish piece and rub the spices well around...
Place the marinated fish on top of the vegetables...
Lastly put the tomatoes, red pepper and red chili on top. Add little water and cover the tajine!
Put on fire and let cook for about 45 minutes or until the cooking water is evaporated!
This is after the cooking of 45 minutes on medium fire!
Cooking a tajine is quite easy when you are used to the ingredients and have the necessary equipment on hands...
Tajines have to be cooked in the earthenware pot called 'Tajine' to get that special taste...
This was our lunch of the 7th October and everyone loved it...
I love eating my tajine with Moroccan bread while my husband enjoy his with his usual steamed rice!
Have you ever tasted a classic tajine like I just showed you dear friends!?
On top of being delicious, tajines are super healthy too...as noticed we only have good healthy products that go in a tajine...
