Now, let's get into the recipe for a delicious fish tagine for four.
Ingredients:
- 4 fish fillets (red snapper, sea bass, or cod)
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- One red bell pepper, sliced
- One yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 can (400g) Diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste.
- Ingredients: 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon paprika.
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric.
- 1 teaspoon of ground ginger.
- A pinch of saffron threads
- Juice from 1 lemon
- Handful of freshly cut cilantro.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Olive oil for cooking.
Instructions:
- Start by marinating the fish fillets in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Allow them to marinade for around 30 minutes while you prepare the tagine.
- In a big, deep skillet or tagine, heat a few tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
- Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until golden and aromatic.
- Cook the sliced bell peppers in the tagine for a few minutes, until they soften somewhat.
- Combine the tomato paste, diced tomatoes, cumin, paprika, turmeric, ginger, saffron, salt, and pepper. Allow the flavors to come together for a few minutes.
- Carefully arrange the marinated fish fillets on top of the vegetable mixture in the tagine.
- Cover the tagine and simmer gently over low heat for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and easily flaked with a fork.
- To add a fresh and vivid touch to the fish tagine, sprinkle it with chopped cilantro right before serving.
Serve the fish tagine hot, with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce. It goes great with a side of Moroccan salad or a crisp mint tea.
