Best Moroccan Fish Tagine With Peppers And Olives Recipes

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!

Ingredients

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.
