It’s no secret that I love Middle Eastern foods~~Moroccan, Algerian, Turkish and more~~the spices, cooking ideas and cooking techniques. Soon I will have the fabulous opportunity to learn more about Israeli foods because I’ll be one of 7 international bloggers to travel to Israel as part of Taste of Israel! Yep, I’m one giddy girl!!
One of my favorite cookbooks is ‘Cooking at the Kasbah’ ~~not only do I love it for the recipe ideas, but I’m in love with the photos! I’ve wanted for so long a tangine and to learn more about cooking in a tagine, and now that I finally have one~~found a gorgeous and reasonably priced one at Williams & Sonoma~~I’m creating and cooking away! This dish of veggies lasted a couple of days, and, yes, got better and better! So very easy and healthy~~something about the tagine cooking is vastly different from a crock pot, slow cooker or pot with a tight lid~~I’m not sure what, but I’m hooked on tangine cooking!
As for this recipe, you can boho it to your heart’s desire! Change up the veggies~~add different spices~~the tagine will work magic! But, IF you don’t have the ‘tagine’ then not to fret, you can put all of this yummmeee goodness in a cast iron skillet, copper skillet, or your favorite skillet, pop a lid on it and cook real slow!
