RAS EL HANOUT

With a subtle but full flavour, the warm and spicy aroma makes it a worthy addition to many meals.

Method

To prepare the fish, rub rock salt and res el hanout into the pieces and refrigerate for 3-4 hours. Remove, rinse and set aside to dry.

Place the tajine base on a stove top on low and add the oil. When it is warm, add the carrot and the yallateef and cook for 3 minutes.

Add the coriander and the parsley and combine well.

Slcie the flesh from the rind of both segments of preserved lemon and set the rind aside to slice finely as a garnish; add the flesh to the mixture.

Add spices, charlic and spicy garlic dip.

Add 1 cup water, and then the hazelnut meal to thicken.

Cover, bring to a gentle boil and add the fish. Cover and cook for 15 minutes. Or place the tajine, lid on, in an oven at 160 C for 30 minutes.

Before serving, garnish with fresh pomegranate seeds, parsley and preserved lemon rind.
