Vegetables Tajine Berber Style

[ryantheberber]

How could you say Berbers live solely in the mounts ? 70% of Casablanca population are Berbers, in fact Berbers are everywhere. (There is no Berber style among recipes, all Moroccan dishes are definitely Berber) damn

[punkandpunk]

Moroccan recipes are 100% Berber dishes

[Moroccanwoman2011]

Thanks Alia, it looks delicious, i've never used rosemary with vegetable tajin, i'll try it next time. Thank u

[tidarsol]

where's the meat!n?? the berbers in the Atlas who put the meat in the dishes it's very important

[khamlijl]

Why the tajine has to be a “Berber” tagine. You can refer to it as Moroccan Tajine of the Atlas region that will be well appreciated. I would like to mention that the Amazigh cuisine, in Morocco, mostly use less vegetables but more meat in their cuisine. In contrast, the Moroccans on the west plains use more vegetables but less meat in their cooking

[casablanca107]

Madame Alia un Tajine sans viande ni poulet ou poisson n´est pas un vrai Tajine, au Maroc comme au U.S.A la viande ne manque pas sur le marché, prix modere.

AH, vous ameliorez toujours les recettes surtout pour les femmes qui ne save pas cuisiner mais les marocains aime consulter votre methode pour gagner du temps. vous etes douce comme vos recettes, mais il ya aussi des recettes marocaines moderne qui sont des merveilles, secret bien gardée.

[puggychu]

I just purchased my first tagine today! Can't wait to try out new recipe :)

[MsMamicha]

Salaam, I just want to mention for everyone's information that the "berbers" or Amazigh do not just live in the Atlas mountains but in fact make up more than 60% of the moroccan population, and that's going by those who identify as strictly Imazighan ( or the non politically correct term, berber).

[Freedom2Morocco]

@MsMamicha I Agree With You .

[punkandpunk]

@MsMamicha Amazighs (Berbers) represent up to 80% of Moroccans .. correct ur info

[MsMamicha]

@punkandpunk 60% is based on the moroccan census of those who ex

pressly identify as "amazigh"

[alosel2]

Just a note of caution, some tajines you can buy in the UK (such as at Lakeland) will require a diffuser to diffuser the heat evenly on the bottom of the tajine, or it may lead to cracking. Also, the water may have to be warmed (depending on the quality of the tajine) as cold water on a hot clay surface may cause cracking.

[alosel2]

Hey Alia, what music do you use for these videos?

[lisaoutriding]

Hi, I was wondering what you thought about non-glazed Tajines. Do you really notice a difference in flavor? Some sites mention an earthy flavor. I want to make one and was wondering if I should glaze or not. Thanks, Lisa

[1flying0]

I love most of the recipes I've tried here! You are fantastic. I can't find a tagine in Canada anywhere. The unglazed clay kind. I just found a site in the States that is free trade and has them made in South America. I'm hoping it will be a good thing!

Seems that the glazed clay is not much different than any heavy pot but the neat flavours coming from the unglazed tagine is what I'm hoping will be worth the 3 month wait ; ) Thanks for such a wonderful site!!

[Myralroro]

@1flying0 I can send u one! i

[theheartofpaul]

Thank you. I will try this next week.

many thanks

aisha

[calledbyfire]

Thanks Alia for your time and sharing your recepies, you are the best.

[ma792000]

hi,thanks for sharing.what do call the name of the dish (I mean the plate )you cooked in it.

[khayztin]

That was so fun to watch!

[footmaster711]

Nice, i'm a berber man, if i were you, i guess i would have used small oignons and added some raw meat in the beggining :). But as the French proverb says: "les goûts ne se discutent pas". Keep up with the good work.

[Marocainementvotre]

berber live everywhere in Morocco not only in atlas mountain!! in fact all moroccans are berber but a lot are arabized and speak moroccan arabic

[Yuba1986Alhoceima]

the berbers are the really moroccans ...arab people ar our Guests in morocco

[hicham1maroc]

I really want to cook with you Alia, lol, thank you , Moroccan food's the best even, no doubt

[chloe7829]

Cher Mme, I've made this Tajine veggie dish but piled a layer of sauteed chicken drum sticks on top of the veggies, the flavore went right into the meat. I know it was no longer a veggie tajine, but it still tasted great. While I was preparing it I thought one could also use lamb meat balls, sauteed and cooked.

Merci Mme.

[cookingwithalia]

sounds great! I love it when viewers add their own touch to the recipes - I am all about 'owning' the dish!

you can call me alia :-)

[tomatich]

It's not really a veggie dish.

It depends of you can afford meat or not.

So people who can afford meat make tagine with meat. You start with the meat and then put the veggies on top.

[isforyoubaby]

thank u alia siri lahh ijawjak bi li istahlak

[armeniamaroc]

mmmmm i use it all the time i love it viva tajine

[cookingwithalia]

yeah I love to use tajine for cooking, especially when I have some free time and the vegetables cook on very low heat... yum. But also, I put my large plate (with the food) inside the tajine and cover the tajine to keep the food warm!

[sak87sak87]

mmm i can cook his too without a tajine ? i mean nowhere i can find it ere in germany, looks great i love your food

[cookingwithalia]

absolutely, you can use a pan with a lid, just increase the heat to 'medium' and you may also need to adjust the amount of water.

[h4ngedm4n]

it is very refreshing to see you cook with both moroccan traditional cookware and western cookware.

[Bobofet241]

I told my husband you explain things in such a clear and easy manner one cannot help but succeed.He said that was a mark of a good teacher.

[maxa212]

when a new tajine is in use then you take it in its entirety in 1day flooding so that when used over a fire or electric stove will not burst you prefer cooking tagine over a charcoal opinion of a Moroccan

[zebra3567]

I received a Tajine as a present and this dish is easy enough for me with ingredients you can get in any supermarket. I am going to try this.

[cookingwithalia]

so how did it go? :-)

[zebra3567]

it is cooking right now and everybody is going crazy smelling all those flavours all over the house :)

[morrocangirl82]

hi alia. Ive recently brought a tagine but i am having a few problems. if u have an electrical cooker wat number should you have it on? max could you plaese help me chokran

[cookingwithalia]

not really sure, I have never used an electrical cooker to cook (I believe you mean an electrical stove). but to cook in a tajine, the heat needs to be very low. otherwise, you can cook the dish in a normal pot.

[morrocangirl82]

Thats very true purpose of the tagine is slow cooking. But im using it with a diffuser so if its to low it doesnt seem to cook. Well i will keep experimenting and let u knw how it goes chokran

[Naoufalitos24]

use BBQ if u have enough time (holidays)

[CellarD00r]

iam an vegetarian and just cooked it and its over 9000! thx

though i did use a normal ceramic "ramequin"(not sure if translater is right on this word)and it works just fine

[clancyblob]

I couiple of years ago i drove down from Europe to Senegal, passing though Morocco. These tagines were everywhere! Even a little gas station had a stall with charcoal burning, and tagines lined up nice and fresh and hot. Some with meats some vegetable style. Cheap and delicious! Great with mint tea afterwards, poured from pot to glass and back many times to mix and get a nice airy head of bubbles! Sweet and refreshing.

[KillYourTV86]

Can't wait to try this!!

[lisam25]

I know, it's so hard to avoid cookies and sweets but Im trying ..... or at least trying to make them more healthy....

[lisam25]

mmmm looks great..... Ill have to try this.... thanks!! Im trying to eat less meat and more vegetables and more fish... thanks..

[cookingwithalia]

I am on the same diet! plus all the cookies :-)

cheers :-)

[DudukIsTehBest]

cookingwithalia,

I absolutely LOVE your videos and last night I loved your shrimp pil pil, it was simply amazing! I am sure once more people in the USA eat it, it will spread across more restaurants.

I am looking for a wheat-free bread, what kinds of bread to morrocans eat?

Thank you agian

[cookingwithalia]

thank you for the nice comment!

moroccan eat wheat bread called 'khobz' (you can check my video about it). it's a round bread. or we eat french baguettes a lot.

our bread is more consistent as we dip it in the sauce of the tajine.

cheers :-)

[rudhro8330]

Dear Alia...i don't have Tajine & there is no chance of getting it here too. So if i cook in a normal cooking pan,will it taste the same?

Shukran.

[hwiseman]

Try ordering it online.

[cookingwithalia]

it wont taste exactly the same, because the vegetables are 'slow cooked' in a tajine, and this gives it a special flavor. However, you can absolutely use a normal pot and increase the heat to medium, and it will taste very good!

hope this helps :-)

[rayhananina]

I got a lot of water in the tajine after 10min of cooking

I dont know why?!!

I use only 1 cup of water

[cookingwithalia]

that's the water from the vegetables. it's ok because after 2 hours of cooking, the sauce will reduce. but if it's overflowing from your tajine, reduce the amount of water you are adding, because maybe your tajine is smaller than the one I am using in the video. hope this helps.

cheers :-)

[rayhananina]

thanks alia

whats the name of the last herbs that you put on the top

(bdarija please)

[cookingwithalia]

ooo that's a difficult question.

so Thyme in arabic is "za'atar" and

rosemary is romarin in french and I think in arabic it's called 'azir' but not sure how they call it in moroccan. but I am sure if you tell someone in morocco 'romarin' they'll understand.

hope this helps!

[rayhananina]

oh!

thanks alia

I have both of them

my mom bring it from mrocco last time

I never used the rosemary

I did not even know that is an herb for cooking!!!

thank you ,I will try it today

[latina212008]

Thanks so much for this recipie! I had a tagine here at home that my husband brought me from Morocco when he went to see his family. And he told me it is used to cook.. I did not know what.. I tried this yesturday and he LOVED it!!! Thanks so much for your recipies your a life saver!!

[samysamy25]

mmmmm!!!

5*****

[mariamlelue]

mashaAllah :) looks yummy and you made it so easy to follow through :)

thank you Alia

[practicalmagic9]

mmm!

[TWENTIETHCENTURYBABY]

That looks nice and healthy Alia, I must buy a tajine.

[kooktocook]

no paprika? just curious, KtC

[EvelynGB]

ALIA! I am still waiting for chicken tagine! :D

And tonight please! I took a chicken out and I cannot make the olives and chicken tagine a second time this week! LOL

[cookingwithalia]

ouch! LOL! ok here's a quick tip. Use the same recipe of the tajine of chicken and add peeled carrots cut into halves. Add the carrots when the chicken is half cooked and also skip the part where you put the chicken in the oven. now you get the tajine of chicken with carrots!

easy :-)

cheers!!!

[EvelynGB]

Alia. You are much too slow! LOL Right at this moment I am making Chicken tagine kadra but with chick peas! I am very scared though because of all the onions! But I know your recipes are always so yummo! It will be my first attmept!

I will try the chicken with carrots too! Do you still add the olives? Sounds really good.

I am so hungry.......

[cookingwithalia]

how was the kadra tajine? it's one of my favorites? did you like it?

[EvelynGB]

Alia It was really good! I was nervous about ALL those onions but the sauce turned out so mild and smooth tasting! I made it with chickpeas I might try it sometime with the almonds. My husband loved it. The next day though all our clothes and hair smelled like food! LOL

Thanks Alia! I am waiting for more recipes!

[1kayaman]

I so love your videos . I did this recipe this weekea and it was AWESOME !!!

[cookingwithalia]

I am so glad you enjoyed it. bonne appetit :-)

[fyshy1]

Great recepe! Well done. I like the way you place the vegetables for presentation. I now have a tajine and will try this one. Thanks for the upload and keep up the great work.... :)

[lamlouma88]

yummy!!!! it looks really delicious tbarkalah alik alala alia

[cookingwithalia]

choukran :-)

[LosingInCA]

Yummy!

[Sessyd]

Nhayat82 ~~ I've used my tajine on an electric stove. Just put a heat defuser under the tajine...can be purchased at any department store. I hope this helps.

[nhayat82]

TbarkAllah 3lik ya Alia. I just want to ask I have an electric stove not gas like we use in Morocco. Can the tajine be placed directly on the electric eye, or do I need to put something to lift the tajine up a bit? I am afraid the tajine will break. Thanks for all your wonderful recipes.

[cookingwithalia]

choukran :-)

I have never used an electric stove + a tajine. but I would believe that the tajine would be fine as long as you are using very low heat. so maybe if you put it on the smallest electric eye and set the heat to the lowest, it would be ok. otherwise, a lifter would definitely work.

cheers :-)

[EvelynGB]

you can try puting it in the oven? It would probably need less time than on the stove.

I would be somewhat nervous about putting a tajine on an element. I would hate for it to crack or break!

Maybe there is someone here that has experience about that?

[Esunshine71]

thats looks great and healhy. can we use regular pan or pot!!!?

[cookingwithalia]

yes of course! but make sure to adjust the temperature to medium - medium low, and also you'll have to adjust the cooking time accordingly. Just make sure that the vegetables are cooked.

hope this helps!
