Easy vegetarian cooking with a Tajine

For the uninitiated in the kitchen with a tajine may be intimidating, even for non-vegetarians. But unlike in the kitchen with a tajine is easy once you understand how it works.

Tajine works similarly to a traditional slow cooker or a Dutch oven, which is designed to cook a heat source down but settled for a long period of time.

For best result, food is so stacked in tajine; foods that require more cooking time is placed first, followed by other ingredients. The oil is optional when you cook with a tajine, but for best results use olive oil of good quality. Inserts one or two tablespoons just enough to coat the base of tajine subtly.

Root vegetables like potatoes and carrots are best placed at the base by slicing the vegetables to about 1 cm thick and arrange them to completely cover the bottom of the tajine. Between stratification, flavour vegetable flavoured slices, salt and pepper.

For a taste of authentic Moroccan, a pinch of ras-el-hanout before placing the next layer of sliced vegetables powder and repeat until all vegetables are neatly roads. In ArabicRas-el-hanout means "top shop" or "market leader". ITIS a delicious spice mixture from Morocco and can often contain more than 30 different ingredients composed primarily of aromatic herbs and exotic spices. And is often referred to as Moroccan spice.

Perfect food group to deepen the tajine is big pieces of tofu or tempeh, and other vegetables such as pumpkin, Zucchini or Eggplant cubed of 2.5 x 2.5 cm. Pile food amid the tajine as a pyramid on top of vegetables at the root level.

And to keep and bring together all the different flavors and ingredients, are two or three medium-sized tomatoes chopped generous flavoured with salt, pepper and chopped fresh coriander or parsley Italian dish. Place the chopped tomatoes, herbs, salt and pepper and mix well before you swallow the mixture evenly over vegetables.

Cover the tajine, placed over a low heat source and leave to cook very slowly. Depending on the volume of food, cooking time varies between 90 minutes to 120 minutes. Consequently the dishes cooked in a tajine is moist and tender with a soft texture blending-in-your-mouth.
