Moroccan Tagine (Vegan)

Yum

chickpeas, lemon, olives, onions, potatoes, vegan

A tagine is a Moroccan covered earthenware pot traditionally used to simmer stews slowly over coals. Of course, I have bypassed the coals, and, even the eartherware pot, but I kept the wonderful flavors and spices of Morocco just the same–cumin, ginger, cinnamon, turmeric, lemon, garlic, green olives.…YUM! This delightful vegan dish is a one-pot hearty meal filled with chickpeas and sweet & gold potatoes and its wonderful aroma will just fill your kitchen!

I made it for you in my own kitchen–watch here!

    Dear Catherine,
    I finally got around to make it. As always delicious 😋. My girls were first cautious, then took second and third helpings. One did not eat the sweet the other not the golden Yukon potatoes – so they traded potato cubes.
    All the best
    Sibylle

        Dear Catherine, inspired by one of your other recipes, I threw in a cubed eggplant and a handful of raisins- yum! Golden Yukon potatoes were changed out for one purple and one pink, fleshed potato (old European varieties). That way both my girls ate them 😜

      Hi Yolaine, lucky you using a real tagine! You would cook it the same exact way but with a heat diffuser underneath the tagine. I found a great article that might help you: https://www.thespruceeats.com/how-to-use-a-moroccan-tagine-2394754

    This looks so good! I really want to make it, and some of your other dishes, but I have an allergy to cumin. What can I use as a substitute for cumin?

      Penny, I think maybe ground coriander could work. it’s a lovely flavorful spice that has that Moroccan flair as well, so a good one to try! 🙂 Please let me know how it goes, ok?!

    I made this for a small neighbor gathering and it was perfect! Flavorful, easy one-pot. The spice combo hit the mark (very effective without being a long laborious list). I improvised a bit since we had a couple of extra small turnips from our winter CSA, so those were added with the potatoes. I also had some preserved lemon, so I diced about 2 tablespoons and added at the very end. And we made quinoa which served as a perfect little bed. Shazaaam!

    Thanks Catherine!
