Think of Moroccan tagine as a succulent, slowly simmered stew. Similar to this Moroccan Lamb Stew, the balance of sweet and savory flavors, coupled with the intensity of spices set this vegetable tagine apart from your average stew.

This easy Moroccan vegetable tagine begins with a few humble ingredients, you probably already have: potatoes, carrots, onions, and garlic.

A heaping portion of chopped dried apricots, is what provides the subtle sweetness in this hearty vegetable tagine. And to balance it off, tangy tomatoes, and a splash of lemon juice (which is added at the very end to wake everything up).

The main spice used in this easy vegetable tagine recipe is a new favorite in our shop: Harissa (pronounced: ha-REE-sah). An all-natural unique blend of three types of chili, along with sumac, caraway, fennel and more! To play up the depth and warmth of harissa spice, I added a little cinnamon, coriander, and a touch of turmeric.

Traditionally, tagine is cooked in a clay (or ceramic) pot like this one, wide at the bottom and topped with a narrow, cone-shaped cover. But in this modern improvisation, I simply used my Dutch Oven.

  1. OMG!!!!! This was so delicious I am swooning! I got hubby to make it because we both like to cook. He halved the recipe because we are only two and it makes a lot we still had some leftovers. The only thing he didn't halve was Harissa because we like spice and it was perfection. He served it on rice. We are carnivors but trying to watch our weight as well as our grocery bill. After eating this, if all vegetarian dishes were as flavourful and tasted as good as this one, we could happily give up meat. This is a keeper for sure and it is going into our dinner rotation. Thank you so much for posting it. I'm truly impressed.






  2. I have made a few of you receipts Suzy, I'm very happy with all of them!!! I was just wondering what could I use instead of tomatoes? (My stomach is not very happy with any kind of tomatoes. 🙁 )

    1. Hmmm... that's a tough one, Erika. I'm not sure of a good substitute for the tomatoes in this one. You could always try just omitting them. Obviously, the flavor profile would be different, but still pretty yummy, I would think.

  3. I made this for dinner last night - my family never has eaten any type of tagine and I was worried because I have picky-eater teens and young adults but everyone LOVED this recipe - they even went back for seconds! Every recipe I have tried from you Suzy has had rave reviews from my whole family - Thank you!!!!






  4. Suzi: I love your style, and absolutely love your recipes to bring us joy, and I think I might even love you! even your booboos were funny ... tongue tying and trying!! Thanks so much for sharing. Ingrid.






  5. This is delicious - and especially so served over some couscous. I used 2 cans of chickpeas (drained and rinsed) - and ended up with about 12 cups of deliciousness. (So, for me, it's about 8 servings - and will need to freeze this in 1.5 cup serving size containers.). And, easy - better yet. Thanks.






  6. I love this tagine recipe! So delicious and and yet so easy to make. Thank you! Shukran! Certainly a wonderful mean on its own, though we enjoyed it on couscous, with roasted sea bass. We have yet to try one of your recipes that we didn't love.






  7. I made this for my family and for a family dealing with illness. We all loved it. It made a more-than-ample amount. If there are leftovers in the future, can they be frozen?? i'm always wary of freezing potatoes






  8. I was looking to make this recipe ,however I see that the fat content is very high, more than i would have expected for a vegetable dish . could you explain why. thank you

  9. I just made this dish, and omg, it is delicious! I love the complex flavor the mixture of slices bring to the dish. Since I recently discovered Amchur (mango powder used in Indian dishes), I used it instead of lemon juice. I believe it's a perfect match!

    The only thing is.... I don't have tagine pot YET so I used a regular pot. Still good! Thank you for this recipe!!!






  10. A wonderful departure from the normal. Incredible balance of sweet and spicy. I included a bit of kale and topped with cooked corn to round out the colors and flavors.
