Steps
- 01
Chop the onion and tomato; prepare the carrot, turnip, potato, zucchini, pepper, green beans and cauliflower as listed. Set out the peas.
- 02
Mix paprika, ginger, turmeric, cumin, salt, pepper, parsley, garlic, both oils and 60 mL water in a bowl to make a loose spice marinade.
- 03
Place onion and tomato in a heat-safe tagine (use a diffuser if its maker requires one) or a heavy lidded pan. Add 2 tbsp of marinade, cover and cook over medium-low heat for 5 minutes to make a sauce.
- 04
Arrange carrot, turnip and potato on the bottom, then layer zucchini, cauliflower, red pepper, green beans and peas above.
- 05
Pour the remaining marinade over the vegetables, cover and gently simmer over medium-low heat for about 45 minutes. If the base dries out, add water 1–2 tbsp at a time and occasionally spoon sauce over the upper vegetables.
- 06
Turn off the heat when a fork slides easily into the potato and carrot and the sauce is reduced. If still firm, add a little water and cook until tender.
- 07
Handle the hot pot and lid carefully, then serve the vegetables warm with bread.
Before you cook
Check that your tagine is stovetop-safe and use a heat diffuser if required. Beware of steam when removing the hot lid. Refrigerate leftovers in shallow containers at 4°C or below within 2 hours (1 hour if above 32°C), eat within 3–4 days or freeze, and reheat throughout to 74°C. The main ingredients list no major allergens, but check spice packaging and allergens in any accompanying bread.
