Moroccan vegetable tagine

in Vegetables

This can easily be done in a Dutch oven if you don’t have a tagine laying around…
Chop everything into equal sized chunks all a bit larger than a garbanzo bean: three carrots, one bell pepper, one white potato, add a can of tomatoes or Rotel tomatoes/peppers and that can full of water to the mix, 1/2 to one can of garbanzo beans, a handful of dry cherries or chopped dry apricots, 2-3 smashed cloves of garlic, 2-3 Tbs olive oil and 2tsp Moroccan seasonings (I will post the mix I make in the comments). Serving with some chicken rubbed with Moroccan seasoning, and some round rustic bread I will cook once everything else comes off the egg. Making some smoked clarified butter/ghee fortified with 14 cloves of garlic (sorry, I can’t remember which of you geniuses had this idea), to go on crab legs later. Stones/cast iron are heating under the butter for bread baking.

Sorry I didn’t remember it was you @caliking but thanks for the amazing idea the butter picked up such a good smoke flavor!

No worries @JohnInCarolina just don’t wanna look like an idea thief. I’m happy to hand out thanks even if possibly misplaced.

just stumbled on this thread. I used to have a tangine (divorce disbursement took care of that) and the funnel shape of it is key to how things cook - so not sure if a dutch oven would do the same.
I've never seen one on a grill, but being a traditional cooker, that can't be too far from it's origins. were you worried about it cracking over the heat? is that a small platesetter I see under it?~~

I was running out of room so that is a pizza stone under a tortilla cooker so they could both heat up to make the bread. Not worried about cracking but my base is CI. I used one with a ceramic base and lid for two years in Morocco over open fire and never had a crack but I probably got lucky.
-
biggest issue I had with the tagine was where to keep it. just a large item. would look good on the cupboards, but that would be a pain to retrieve/remove.~~

I do have a question… what did you do with the confit’ed garlic, and the solids from the ghee?#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX.

I was hoping you had saved them, and that’s a glorious way to use them.

Spectacular presentation there! I really love this combo including veggies, protein and bread!
Now I would like to try myself with the Tagine I have at home but it’s a beautifully decorated piece of hardware. I’m going to get in trouble if I throw it in the Egg..

@JohnInCarolina one of the best jokes I have seen in a long time, 😂. And @Paolo my painted version could handle the heat, it did not respond well to gravity. Also I use it on an xl so the height isn’t an issue.

Sorry for your painted Tagine! I will need need to get an expendable one and keep the nice one for presentationBeanHead said:@JohnInCarolina one of the best jokes I have seen in a long time, 😂.

That cook looks amazing! So glad it got resurrected!!There is a significant overlap between the smartest bears and the dumbest humans - Park Ranger designing bear proof trash cans.
