Now this was a great find. We were travelling across the High Atlas Mountains of Morocco, stopped for lunch and were told that it would be omelette with bread and salad. And this tagine dish is what we were served. It was so good we filmed it being made and I brought the recipe back to my restaurant and now it is a permanent fixture on the breakfast menu.

Ingredients

olive oil
1 red onion finely chopped
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground paprika
10 tomatoes, peeled & diced
1 handful chopped coriander
7 eggs, beaten
salt & freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

Preheat oven to 180ยบC.

Heat your tagine on the stove and add some olive oil with the onion and cook slowly for about 5 minutes, add the spices and cook for a further 3 minutes, this releases the flavours.

Add the tomatoes and coriander then simmer for about 10-15 minutes, make sure you stir occasionally and reduce to a sauce consistency.

Remove from the heat and pour the beaten eggs over the sauce, cover with the tagine lid and place in the oven for about 10-15 minutes or until it lightly puffs and sets.
To serve, season well and drizzle with a little olive oil.

What's to Disagree ?
Di posted a question below asking if the spice required was Coriander (ground: means powder) as mentioned in the Ingredient list, or Cumin as the cook clearly mentions in the video as he is cooking. Both look similar so it's hard to distinguish from the video. A whopping 26 people Disagree with the comment ! What's to Disagree ??? Ha ha ha ha. What planet are you on, my helpful 26? I trust the Cook more than the copy editor, so I'd go with the Cumin. :)

Wonderful flavour and aroma! My Father-in-law made a fantastic tagine with small sausages and eggs with a tomato sauce, but the eggs were fried and then served on top on the sauce.

Sounds great I'm looking forward to making this recipe but want to know if the ingredient is ground coriander (in the recipe) or ground cumin (on the video clip)?

Hot Tips

Red wine or white wine?

The general rule with wine is that red wine, with its richer and deeper flavours, is a great accompaniment to red meats, while white wine works well with white meats (fish and chicken). However take time to experiment, there are plenty of exceptions to the rules and with wine the rules are definitely made to be broken.

Glossary

Biber Salcasi

A red pepper paste which can be hot or mild.
