recipe: non traditional moroccon tagine!

[moonfroggy]

i got a tagine in the mail today which is a bit like a Moroccan casserole dish. you could make this in any casserole dish and probably could make it on the stove top as well. ii suspect it will have a slightly different texture on the stove top but would still taste just as good

also i never measure everything when making a recipe up

if cooking in oven pre-heat too 350

ingredients:

1 carrot
1 stick of celery
2 - 3 tomato's
large hand full crimini mushrooms
2 large hand fulls baby spinach
1 clove garlic
1 very large shallot
8 Brussels sprouts
1 green bell pepper (red would taste just as good)
1/2 cup quinoa

small amounts of:
fresh ginger
turmeric
cayenne
cumin
curry powder
2 bay leaves
juice of 1 lemon
swig of apple cider vinegar
salt
soy sauce
water

in the future i will probably add:
1 diced apple
a small hand full of raisins
and cinnamon

directions:
rinse quinoa off then put in pan with a little oil and cook until it is dry or starts to "pop" then put into your tagine or whatever you are cooking it in. chop up all the veggies (i cooked them some but after making it i realize it was not at all necessary) chop up ginger and combine spices and herb with 1 and 1/4 cup water add that to the container then cover and bake at 350 for 45 minutes
