How to make zucchini tagine style?

Zucchini is probably the most consumed vegetable in summer. Sometimes, after having enjoyed it in a pan, in a gratin, in a gazpacho, we no longer know how to prepare it. Do you want a comforting and fragrant dish without spending hours in the kitchen? Zucchini tagine style is the perfect solution! Inspired by the famous Moroccan dish, this simplified recipe allows you to make a meal with spicy and tasty flavors. Let yourself be tempted by this colorful and delicious dish!

1. Wash the zucchini and cut into thick pieces. Thinly slice the onion and chop the garlic. Dice the tomatoes.

2. In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil. Add the onion and garlic, then sauté for a few minutes until tender. Add the ras-el-hanout and tomatoes. Cook for 5 minutes over low heat.

3. Add the zucchini, mix well to coat the vegetables with spices. Cook for another 5 minutes. Cover with water to the level of the zucchini and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes.

4. The zucchini should be tender but still slightly firm. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley or coriander. Salt and pepper to taste.

This simplified recipe is perfect for those nights when you want a quick but tasty meal. You can easily adapt it based on what you have on hand. For example, add canned chickpeas for a heartier dish, or incorporate additional vegetables like carrots or peppers for variety.

For a spicier dish, feel free to add a pinch of chilli or harissa. If you have time, let the dish simmer a little longer over low heat to allow the flavours to concentrate and the vegetables to soak up the spices. Finally, for a finishing touch, serve your zucchini with a little plain yoghurt and pita bread, for a complete and balanced meal.
