[ENG] Berber Vegetable Tagine / طاجين بالخضر - CookingWithAlia - Episode 442

Let's continue the La Maison Arabe (www.lamaisonarabe.com/) dada series this Berber Vegetable Tagine, a staple dish in Moroccan cuisine!
WRITTEN RECIPE: goo.gl/IlI8GI
INGREDIENTS:
Vegetables
½ onion
1 medium red-ripe tomato
1 small carrot
1 small turnip
1 small zucchini
1 small potato
½ red bell pepper
100 grams (3.5 oz.) green beans
2 small cauliflower florets
A handful of green peas, shelled
Marinade
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground turmeric
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 tablespoons water
RECIPE:
1- Prepare the vegetables:
- Onion: finely chop
- Tomato: peel, seed, and finely chop
- Carrot: peel, cut in half, slice each half lengthwise, remove and discard the core, then slice each quarter into medium strips
- Turnip: peel, slice in half lengthwise, then slice into medium strips
- Potato: peel and cut into quarters
- Zucchini: trim ends and cut into quarters
- Red bell pepper: trim ends, seed, and slice into medium strips
- Green beans: trim ends and cut into medium strips
2- To make the spice marinade, combine all the marinade ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
3- Place the chopped onion and tomato in the tagine plate. Add 2 tablespoons of the spice marinade, mix, cover the tagine and cook on medium heat for 5 minutes until the onion and tomato melt into a thick sauce.
4- Nicely display the vegetables in the tagine, starting with the vegetables that take the longest to cook (carrot, turnip, potato) then leaving at the top the ones that take less time to cook (zucchini, cauliflower, red bell pepper, green beans, and green peas).
5- Pour the spice marinade all over the vegetables.
6- Cover the tagine and cook on medium heat for 45 minutes. From time to time check on the vegetables to make sure that there is enough liquid in the tagine. Add water if necessary, but only small amounts at a time. Also, occasionally, take some of the sauce in the tagine and baste it over the vegetables so that those placed on top absorb the marinade flavors.
7- Serve hot with crusty bread.

Salaam Alia, I just want to say I love all of your recipes but especially your tagines! I went to Morocco a few years ago as a teenager and when we came back the first recipe I tried was your kefta one. I haven't looked back from your channel ever since and will Insha'Allah try this recipe, too!

[@c.a.1929]

My aunt prepared this exact same dish for a buddy of mine, since he is a vegan. He told me that it was hands down the best vegan dish he ever had! I hope other vegans have the same experience. But seriously get a Tajin cooking pot if you want to prepare this dish properly. It won’t be the same if you did it in any other pan!

[@lyleisrael5691]

Her chicken tagine is good. This was bad and bland

[@moroccoal-adarisa2300]

Order it

[@BabyMango]

The way you are cutting the vegetables reminds me so much of myself and my Yiayia! My Irish fiancé was baffled that I never used a large chefs knife to cook. A small one feels more like home to me. 😂

[@joserobiou]

YUMMY!

[@mohammadrasheedShihab]

Nice

[@awetghebrelul7456]

Great

[@scarletdamsel3139]

yummy thanks for the share

[@MLever89]

Hi Alia. I love your recipes and your style of cooking. Would it be possible for you to do a video about vegetable cutting skills which Moroccans do using their hands (safely) without using a chopping board? I haven't seen any videos on RUclips which show how to do this. It would be a great skill to acquire and it would be good for people to learn how to prepare tagines using traditional techniques as well as efficiently making them with little cleaning up to do. Thanks in advance.

[@jurassicperk86]

yeah that is not a very "professional" technique but it actually much more comfortable and less messy, just make sure to use a dull knife (something that wouldn't cut into your skin if pressed against it). You'll need to press a little harder though to split the vegetable.

[@billieelouarti8597]

yes helps alot in small spaces or in camping @@jurassicperk86

[@cristalsolis3541]

I just made this recipe today using my tagine for the first time. This recipe is simple and so good!! I was very impressed with how quickly the tagine cooked the potatoes and vegetables, turned out perfect! Thank you for sharing this recipe =]

[@catEglorical]

Cristal Solis Hi, just curious if you don’t mind me asking - where did you buy your tagine?

[@cristalsolis3541]

Priscilla Diaz hi! I purchased my tagine from an online store based in Florida. I can send you the link!

[@cristalsolis3541]

Priscilla Diaz treasuresofmorocco.com

[@cristalsolis3541]

Priscilla Diaz it’s great because the couple who own the shop travel to Morocco to get all their stuff they sell including the tagines =)

[@Cromf]

Stay strong minded! ❤️💪

[@Danicrown]

thank anyone cook this

[@sarae3291]

Hey Alia! I love the recipe, unfortunately I don't have a tagine. Can I use a saucepan instead? .
TIA

[@hajarjiji8706]

You can use any pot, but if you have a crock pot that's the American version of the tagine (the idea is to slow cook) except the slow cooking + clay pot = outstanding taste!

[@yehetgirl8864]

How big is this Tagine? I'm planing on biying 20 Cm Tagine is it too small?

[@buddhistslacker]

What kind of turnip is that?

[@blutey]

Looks great!
Will the amounts here serve one or two people?

[@fadel8792]

Depends on whether you're a normal person or if you're me when I'm hungry :p but yeah this is usually a two person serving.

[@Anesthesia069]

This looks fantastic. Can anyone give me the name of the bread shown in the intro at 7s and 14s?

[@azulamazigh2789]

it's afanro bread it's an amazigh (berber) word . but you can just google amazigh/berber bread or moroccan bread.

[@ofa436]

Alia could you make videos about moroccan bread? It would be interesting )))

[@sonjaspackenberger9250]

Yeah!

[@sonjaspackenberger9250]

I would like to bake my own Moroccan bread!

[@annebkgardmadsen983]

Hi😀
Can i use my tagine on a Glasceramic Stowe??

[@Rana-ur5tu]

Yep, my mother does it all the time!

[@annebkgardmadsen983]

MugiwaraRan Ran Thanks😀

[@cookingwithalia]

yes, you can use it on the glass stove. Just make sure you place the tagine first and then turn the heat, so the tagine slowly heats up and does not get a thermal shock. :-)

[@ladyessi]

Love the dish, we also cook it like that in the famous city of Fes! What makes it a berber dish though, that is confusing?

[@zinebmarkab9081]

Tajine on its own is a Berber dish. All Moroccan dishes are Berber.

[@kenzaechaddini764]

Can you make more vegan\ vegetarian videos ?
Thank you !

[@meriemebenichi2466]

thank u for all

[@cookingwithalia]

[@peanutquezergue99]

Is the tagine placed directly on the flame?

[@cookingwithalia]

yes, this one is - it has been cured and it's holding fine. I would suggest to use a diffuser if you can. much safer for the tagine.

[@peanutquezergue99]

Thank you, Alia. I need to find a good tagine

[@karencheek7518]

Why is this called Berber? Is it the spice combo?

[@Hitman.13.]

Karen Cheek Because it is a berber dish (berber refers to Ethnic North Africans or Amazigh ,most Moroccans are berbers but mostwho live in the cities have forgoten the language and the culture that got replaced by arabic and islam culture during the Islamic collonialism of north africa centuries ago)

[@ladyessi]

Hitman Hatim It is absolutaly not a berber dish. Stews are very famous is many eastern cultures, and are an ancient arabian dish. In morocco there is no such thing as a berber tajine. There are tajines that are made by people living on the countryside and on farms, and do not have the finances to buy meat. Therefore, a tajine made without meat is now associated with people living on the countryside. In the whoke video, alia and the other chefcook did not speak of a berber tajine, Alia probably later on decided to call it like that.

[@claudiaj7022]

I really like your recipes... but I am vegetarian and I have tried to skip the meat from some. could you include more recipes like this one or give option for vegetarians? thanks

[@cookingwithalia]

check my website and see salads, soups, etc. sections. they are mostly vegetarian. www.cookingwithalia.com/

[@dcoleman4444]

I thought the purpose of the Tagine was that it was self-basting?

[@migooriginal2021]

🎓🎓🎓🎓🎓🎓🎓🎓🎓🎓👍👑👍

[@TilmanBaumann]

I would personally advice against using tomatoes.
Because this is slow and long cooking, the acidity of the tomatoes will penetrate the vegetables and make them taste really off.
That only works if the vegetables are short in contact with the acidity in my opinion.
I tried both ways, no tomatoes wins hands down.

[@mokerjoker7]

Berber tajine? All the food in morocco is berber!

[@kaymgee08]

Had to mute the sound as 'music' enough to drive one crazy!
