Description
A delicious vegan tagine recipe which is made full of the traditional Moroccan flavours.
Ingredients
2 medium-sized yellow onions, peeled and diced
8 –10 cloves of garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped
2 large-sized carrots, peeled and chopped
2 large-sized russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 large-sized sweet potato, peeled and cubed
2 medium-sized courgettes, sliced
2 medium-sized aubergines, cut into cubes
250g canned peeled plum tomatoes
60g dried apricot, chopped
250g chickpeas, from a can and drained
A handful of fresh parsley leaves
1 tbsp Harissa
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground turmeric
1/2 tsp salt
110ml low-sodium/low salt vegetable stock
60ml extra virgin olive oil
1 lemon
Instructions
Heat a tagine pot over medium heat and add olive oil. If you do not have a tagine pot then a lidded saucepan will do a good enough job.
Saute onions for 5 minutes and set heat to medium-high.
Add garlic, toss for a few seconds.
Drop-in all chopped vegetables.
Add the carrots, sweet potato, russet potato, and courgettes.
Season with spices. Toss and cook for 6 – 7 minutes. Maintain heat level.
Add tomatoes, aubergine, apricot, and stock. Keep heat level on medium-high. Cook for 9 – 10 minutes.
Reduce heat level, cover, and simmer until vegetables are tender.
Add in chickpeas and cook on low heat for another 5 minutes.
Stir in lemon juice and fresh parsley.
Taste and add more harissa spice or salt according to your taste.
Drizzle with olive oil if required before serving. (The syns in this recipe do not include this drizzled olive oil)
Notes
Each portion on Slimming World is 4 syns for the olive oil in the recipe and 1 syn for the apricot making it 5 syns per portion. The Harissa in the recipe is one syn so divided by the 6 portions I have not counted this but the choice is yours. By using low-calorie cooking spray instead of olive oil you could reduce the syns in this to 1 per portion.
