How to Make A Very Good Tagine Tajine Vegetarian

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Chop 1 medium onion, 8 oz cremini mushrooms, 1 cup cherry tomatoes, 1/2 cup dried apricots, and 1 medium sweet potato (about 1 lb) into 1/2-inch pieces.
  3. Spray a large oven-safe tagine or Dutch oven with cooking spray. Sauté the mushrooms and onions over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes, until softened.
  4. Add 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp ground coriander, 1/2 tsp turmeric, 1/4 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp ginger, 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional), 1 (14.5 oz) can chickpeas (drained and rinsed), the chopped sweet potato, apricots, and cherry tomatoes to the pot.
  5. Stir in 1 1/2 cups of vegetable broth or water.
  6. Bring to a simmer, then cover and transfer to the preheated oven. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender.
  7. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley before serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
