Hello everyone,
This is a recipe for Tagine which is a rich stew (I think !)The
original recipe called for lamb and almonds but I have changed the lamb
for carrots and butternut squash.(If anyone wants the original receipe
you only have to ask!)
Tagine with Prunes
3 medium carrots cut in half and sliced into batons
about half a butternut squash peeled and cubed
1 tsp each ground ginger, turmeric and salt
1/2 tsp each of black pepper and cayenne
2 cinnamon sticks cut to 1" lengths
12oz chopped onion
400g/15oz tin chopped tomatoes
250g/8oz pack stoned prunes
Parsley or cilantro to garnish
Spray large pan with light spray oil add onions and spices and cook
until onions are tender mixing occasionally
Add tomatoes and about half a can of water
Add carrots and squash
Cover and simmer for about 1 and a half hours
Add prunes and cook uncovered for 20/30 minutes until the prunes are
softened and the liquid is a rich sauce.Watch the liquid and adjust
thickness to you own taste.Serve over rice/couscous/bulghar
wheat.Garnish with parsley or cilantro.
