MOROCCAN FISH TAGINE



Moroccan Fish Tagine image

This delicious healthy dish common to North Africa, particularly Morocco, is one of my favorites when entertaining guests. The wonderful spices blended with fresh vegetables and fish is a crowd pleaser. The fish is marinated in a chermoula sauce to soak up all the wonderful spices prior to cooking. This dish is prepared in a traditional method in a ceramic tagine, but can be prepared in a heavy lidded pot. This dish as it cooks emits some of the most wonderful smells throughout the house. Serve with couscous or rice and crusty bread to mop up all the wonderful sauce!

Categories     Fish

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion, sliced
4 bell peppers (red, yellow, orange & green) sliced
2 tsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground turmeric
1/2 tsp coriander seeds, lightly crushed
1/4 tsp chilli pepper/cayenne (optional)
1 tomato, skinned and diced
1 head of garlic, finely diced
1-2 tbsp harissa
1 small can of chickpeas (approximately 1 cup)
1 cup of water
1 tsp bouillon powder
1 bunch of cilantro, washed, dried and roughly chopped
4 frozen cod fillet (or any firm white fish.)
A pinch of freshly ground pepper
salt (only if needed)

Steps:

  • Heat the tagine. Set the tagine on a low heat until warm; once the tagine is warm, increase the heat to a medium-high. If you're not using a tagine pot, skip the warm-up on low and heat your pot at medium-high.
  • Sauté onions & peppers. Coat the tagine with a generous amount of olive oil (about 2 tbsp or more). Add in the onions, sauté until translucence, then add the bell peppers. Cover the tagine and cook for 3 minutes.
  • Add spices, tomatoes, garlic & harissa. Once the bell peppers have begun to soften, add in the spices and stir to coat the peppers and bloom the flavours. Add the tomatoes and garlic. Cover the tagine and simmer for 3-4 minutes ⏤ if the tomatoes are really dry, add 2 tbsp of water from your water cup.
  • Toss in the chickpeas, bouillon powder, & water. Open the lid, add the chickpeas and bouillon powder and give everything a good stir. Pour the water over the mixture and cover the tagine for 10 minutes.
  • Time for cilantro & fish. Remove the lid and taste the sauce; you may wish to adjust the salt at this point. I don't usually add any salt to the dish since the bouillon powder is pretty salty already, but it's a good time to check. Stir in the cilantro, then place the fish on top of the sauce. Cover the tagine, and simmer for 7 minutes.
  • Braise, Simmer & Cover. Now the fish has been cooking for 7 minutes and is becoming soft. Scoop some of the sauce on top of the fish and move the chickpeas to the side so the fish can be submerged into the sauce. Cover and continue cooking for 4 minutes
  • Serve and enjoy.

Number Of Ingredients 21

paprika, to sprinkle on the potatoes
2 small potatoes, peeled & cut into strips
3 -4 white fish fillets, boneless (I used tilapia fillets)
1 (8 ounce) can low-sodium tomato sauce or 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup water
1 roma tomato, chopped
1/2 small onion, cut into thin strips
1/2 teaspoon ras el hanout spice mix (Ras El Hanout - Moroccan Spice Mix)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/3 cup green olives, cracked (pitted, preferably)
1/2 preserved lemon, sliced with the flesh (Moroccan Spiced Preserved Lemons)
1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
3 medium garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon vinegar
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Peel the potatoes & cut them into strips, about the size of a large french fry. Put them into a bowl & rinse. Then sprinkle paprika over the potatoes, turning them several times to make sure they are all covered.
  • Place the tomato sauce, olive oil, water, tomato, onions, & spices in a medium or large tagine. Stir to mix all the ingredients, then lay the potatoes on top of the sauce. Cover & cook on low heat for 30 minutes.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, mix the ingredients of the charmoula in a small bowl. Place the fillets into a shallow bowl or dish, pour half the mixture over top of the fish & let it marinate for 30 minutes.
  • Boil the olives in a small sauce pan of water for 5 minutes to remove their bitterness. Once done, drain the water & stir the rest of the charmoula in with the olives, set aside to be used later.
  • Stir the sauce in the tagine then place the fish fillets on top of the potatoes. Scatter the lemon & olives on the fish & pour all the remaining charmoula over the fish.
  • Cover the tagine & continue to cook on low heat for another hour. The tagine is done once the potatoes are tender.
  • Serve in the tagine with thick bread to scoop up the sauce & fish. Make sure you protect your table because the tagine will stay hot for a time.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 teaspoons cumin seeds
3 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1 tablespoon sweet paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons crushed hot red pepper
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
4 wedges Preserved Lemons for Moroccan Fish Tagine, rinsed, pulp and peel separated
3 tablespoons fruity extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound monkfish fillet or thick slabs of halibut
1 large carrot, very thinly sliced
2 ribs celery, peeled and very thinly sliced
1 pound red ripe tomatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
1 small green bell pepper, sliced into very thin rounds
2 dozen Moroccan red or picholine olives, rinsed and pitted
2 dried bay leaves, preferably Turkish
Sprigs fresh cilantro, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and cook until toasted and fragrant; grind to a fine powder. Transfer cumin to a mortar or jar of a blender and add garlic, salt, paprika, parsley, cilantro, pulp of preserved lemon, and olive oil. Puree to make a charmoula, using a pestle or by blending.
  • Rinse fish and pat dry. If using monkfish, cut away grey membrane and divide the fish into 4 equal pieces. Rub half of the charmoula all over fish; let stand for 1 hour at room temperature or up to 24 hours, refrigerated. Add 1/2 cup water to remaining charmoula, cover, and keep refrigerated.
  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Spread 2 tablespoons reserved charmoula over the bottom of a tagine; sprinkle with carrots and celery. Add half of the tomatoes and bell peppers; top with fish and drizzle with some of the charmoula. Add remaining tomatoes and bell peppers and spread remaining charmoula over top.
  • Chop preserved lemon peel and sprinkle around fish along with olives and bay leaves. Cover tagine with parchment paper-lined aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour.
  • Remove tagine from oven and pour liquid from dish into a small nonreactive saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat until thickened and reduced to 1/2 cup; pour back over fish.
  • Increase oven temperature to 500 degrees. Baste fish with pan juices and bake, uncovered, in top third of oven until a crust has formed over the vegetables, about 10 minutes. Transfer tagine to a wooden surface or a folded kitchen towel to prevent cracking. Garnish with cilantro sprigs; serve warm or hot.

Tips:

  • Choose the right fish: For this tagine, use a firm-fleshed fish that will hold up well to cooking, such as salmon, cod, or halibut.
  • Marinate the fish: Marinating the fish in a mixture of spices and herbs will help to infuse it with flavor.
  • Use fresh vegetables: The vegetables in this tagine should be fresh and in season.
  • Cook the tagine slowly: Tagines are traditionally cooked slowly over low heat. This allows the flavors to meld and the fish to cook through gently.
  • Serve with couscous or bread: Tagines are traditionally served with couscous or bread. The couscous or bread will soak up the delicious sauce from the tagine.

Conclusion:

Moroccan fish tagine with peppers and olives is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The fish is cooked in a flavorful broth with vegetables and spices, and the olives add a briny touch. Serve the tagine with couscous or bread, and enjoy!
