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.

FISH STEW (MOROCCAN TAGINE)



Fish Stew (Moroccan Tagine) image

This is a simple dish to make with a lot of flavor. Any of these firm white-fleshed fish can be used in this tagine; sea bass, stripped bass, red snapper, porgy, halibut, cod, haddock, or pollack. I adjusted the amount of lemon juice in this recipe after the reviews said it was too much. Thanks for the great input.

Time 1h30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/4 cup cilantro, finely chopped
1/4 cup parsley, finely chopped
3 -4 medium garlic cloves
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon coriander
1 pinch cayenne pepper (optional)
2 lbs firm white fish fillets
3 -4 carrots
2 potatoes
2 ripe tomatoes
2 sweet green peppers
2 medium garlic cloves, chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup canola oil
1/2 cup water

Steps:

  • Charmoula:.
  • Blend the herbs together in a bowl with the garlic & vinegar until pasty. Stir in the lemon juice & spices.
  • Tagine:.
  • Cut the fish into 2 inch pieces. Rub each piece with the charmoula & then place into the bowl to marinate (at least 30 minutes).
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Slice the carrots in half down the middle. Peel the potatoes & slice thinly. Slice the tomatoes crosswise. Remove the seeds from the peppers & slice into large pieces. Set aside --
  • Place the carrots across the bottom of a 9x13 cake pan (fat end, skinny end, fat end, etc). This becomes a sort of bed for the fish, keeping it from sticking to the bottom & assuring that there is always sauce underneath to give it flavor.
  • Arrange the fish on top of the carrots. Dip the sliced potatoes into the charmoula & spread over the fish. Repeat with tomatoes & peppers. Sprinkle the garlic over the vegetables.
  • Mix the remaining charmoula with the tomato paste, lemon juice, oil, & water. Pour this over the vegetables.
  • Cover with aluminum foil & bake 35 minutes. Remove the cover. Raise the oven heat to the highest setting & move the pan to the uppermost shelf of the oven. Bake additional 20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked & a nice crust has formed over the vegetables.
  • Serve warm, not hot.
