Vegetable tagine with parsnips, turnips, bell peppers, grape tomatoes and carrots
A vegetable tajine is a flavourful and aromatic stew dish originated in North African that features a medley of vegetables cooked in a spiced broth. In this particular version, parsnips, bell peppers, turnips, grape tomatoes and carrots are the star ingredients. The dish is slow-cooked in a traditional tajine pot, or like here in a Dutch Oven, allowing the flavours to melt together and create a rich and satisfying meal. The combination of sweet parsnips, earthy turnips and tangy grape tomatoes, along with the warmth of the spices, results in a delicious and hearty vegetarian dish that is perfect for a comforting dinner
