One-Pan Parsnip and Sweet Potato Tagine with Dates
A sweet and gently spiced, family-friendly one-pan cheats tagine. This chuck-it-all-in method works well both in the oven and in the slow cooker. Bulk is out with chickpeas or lentils if you like, and serve with some vegan yoghurt on the side to cut through the sweetness. This recipe will also cook well in a slow cooker. 4 hours on medium or 6 on low should do the trick.
Method
Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C fan. Place the peeled diced parsnips, sweet potato, torn and pitted dates, ground spices, sliced red onion, grated ginger, chopped garlic, tomato passata, ras el hanout, honey and half of the hot vegetable stock into a large oven-proof dish. Cover and place into the preheated oven to cook for 1 hour.
Step 2
While the "tagine" cooks, cover the dried couscous with the remaining hot veg stock and cover. Leave to sit while the couscous absorbs the liquid. This will take about 10 minutes. Fluff the couscous with a fork and season if needed. This can be done in advance of the tagine being cooked.
Step 3
Remove the baking tray from the oven once the parsnips are tender (pop in a sharp knife and make sure there is no resistance). Scatter over the coriander. Serve the tagine with the couscous and the flaked almonds and some vegan yoghurt on top, if you like.
