Recipes → Morocco

Because of surfing I spent loads of time on Atlantic coastline of Morocco. That`s why a fresh fish was my daily bread. Grilled, fried or made in traditional Moroccan dish, tagine. This recipe I learned in a restaurant on my favourite beach, Lagzira.

Process

Mix ingredients for marinade, marinate fish in it and set aside 15 minutes.

Put oil at the bottom of tajine, cover the bottom with carrots, put potato slices on it stacked to a circle, add the spices and parsley and saute on a small fire uncovered about 3 minutes. Do not stir.

Put the fish into the middle on potatoes and on each piece put a slice of tomato, paprika, lemon, 2 olives. Salt to taste, add pepper, 0,5 dcl water, cover and saute 35-40 minutes on a mild heat. 

Serve with Moroccan bread (khobz).
