Tagine

For a while now, lemur_catta has been asking me to make a vegetable tagine for the freezer. I've done pseudo Moroccan things with mediterranean veggies, chick peas and the usual spices but never been entirely happy with the result so I went looking for an authentic recipe. I found one via a Zimbabwean food blogger who claimed to have been taught the dish by a real Moroccan. The recipe looked weird enough to be authentic so I thought I'd give it a go.

The amount of onions looks way excessive, as does the amount of olive oil but don't be tempted to cut back. The dish works and it is delicious!

In other news, I'm still happily humming arias from Orfeo.

Apparently one of the boys I coached in 2007 is now trying out for the Hungarian national team. I guess I can take some of the credit as when he moved to Hungary I wrote him a letter of introduction to a club in Budapest.
