  • Squash tagine with cauliflower rice and herby tahini dressing

    April 27, 2017 / Niki / 2 Comments

    I’m a big fan of North African cuisine but maybe you wouldn’t have guessed it from all the Indian curries on my blog! They are my first love of course, but the spicy and sweet flavours of North African dishes are beautifully complex and fragrant and not to be missed.
    So I thought it was about time I posted my squash & chickpea tagine recipe which is just bursting with lovely fresh & fragrant spices, sweet apricots, lots of veg and then topped with my super green and herby tahini dressing.

    It’s super simple to make, that’s the beauty if one pot cooking. My tagine can be made more spicy if you wish by adding more chilli flakes. I really like adding a big squeeze of lemon or lime to make all the flavours sing.

    I served my tagine with cauliflower rice but it’s great on its own, with rice, flatbreads or with a big crunchy slaw.
