Cooking Instructions
Before you start
- Preheat the oven to 220C / fan 200C / gas mark 7
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper
- Pull out a large frying pan, a sieve, a measuring jug & a peeler
Roast the veg
- Dice the carrots and parsnip into 2cm chunks (peel optional)
- Transfer both to the lined baking tray and toss with half the ras el hanout and 2 tsp oil. Season with salt and pepper
- Roast for 20-25 mins, until soft and golden
Toast & prep
- Heat the large frying pan on medium heat. Once hot, add the almonds and toast for 2-3 mins, turning regularly, until golden
- Remove from the pan, transfer to the small bowl and set aside
- Meanwhile, finely dice the onions. Roughly chop the raisins and coriander. Drain and rinse the chickpeas
Time to fry
- Reheat the large frying pan with 2 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the turkey and cook for 2 mins. Season with salt and pepper
- Add the onion and cook for a further 4 mins, then stir in the remaining ras el hanout and ginger & garlic paste and cook for 1 min
Simmer the tagine
- Stir the chickpeas, stock powder, passata and 200ml water into the tagine and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 12 mins, until the turkey is cooked through
Plate up
- Check your turkey is cooked through by cutting a large piece in half; the flesh should be white and the juices running clear
- When ready, stir the cooked veg and half the coriander into the tagine. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add a splash of water if it's too dry
- Serve the tagine into bowls. Scatter with the toasted almonds and remaining coriander to finish
