How to Make Vegetable Tagine

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a tagine or large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 large onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in 1 vegetable bouillon cube, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, and 2 more tablespoons of olive oil. Cook on low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. In a small bowl, toss 2 pounds of potatoes (peeled and cubed) with 1 teaspoon paprika and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Add the potatoes, 1 cup of water, 1 cup pitted Kalamata olives, and the juice of 1 lemon to the tagine.
  6. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook over low heat for 60-75 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
  7. Serve hot with couscous (recipe #260654).
