Batata Harra With Ras El Hanout image

This recipe says "by Martin". Here's what Martin says: "What could possibly be better than good old British chips? Try this. It makes the humble chip seem dowdy and pale. Maybe it's over familiarity that's making me cheat on our national dish. Batata Harra is like the dashing foreign exchange student who turns up at school, blows smoke in your face and instantly gets off with the girl you've been lusting after since the summer before last. Chips can't be expected to compete with that. As if it possibly needed to get any more exotic and unchiplike, this recipe adds ras el hanout - a random, fragrant Moroccan spice mix - to the equation. The ras el hanout I used was the genuine article, kindly sourced from Marrakech by Kim, but unless you're off to Morocco on holiday soon you might have to settle for the supermarket version. It'll still be nice." I think that I like Martin. It's out of: Kittsy's Cookbook

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 kg potatoes, peeled, cut into 2cm chunks or 1 1/4 lbs potatoes, cut into 3/4 inch chunks
2 red bell peppers, cut in 2cm pieces (3/4 inch)
12 garlic cloves, peeled

Steps:

  • Plunge the potatoes in a pan of boiling water for five minutes. Drain and leave to cool.

  • Remove from the oven and add the peppers, garlic and chilli flakes. Mix it up a bit and return to the oven for 25-30 minutes, until the potatoes are nicely browned and the peppers are starting to blacken around the edges.
  • Finally, tip everything back into the bowl you used for the oil. Add the coriander, lemon juice and zest, stir it all through and serve it warm as a side dish, a starter, an alternative to falafels, a bowl of finger food to share during the football....

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover potatoes. I had some leftover mashed potatoes and they worked perfectly in this dish.

This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but I think that's just personal preference.

Really enjoyed this recipe, the potatoes were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The ras el hanout gave it a lovely warm flavor.

Not a huge fan of the ras el hanout, but I can see how it would add a lot of flavor to the dish. Maybe next time I'll try it with a different spice blend.
