Vegetable tagine is a Moroccan stew of zucchini, carrots, potatoes and tomatoes cooked slowly in a covered pot with ras el hanout, a warm spice blend that often includes cumin, coriander, cinnamon and ginger. The vegetables become tender and soak up a fragrant tomato sauce. It is served hot from the pot as a light main dish or side.

How to make it lighter

Use 1 tbsp of oil instead of 2; 1 tbsp oil ≈ 120 kcal.
Add extra herbs and a squeeze of lemon instead of more oil for flavour.
