  • Pinch of saffron
  • 500 mL (2 cups) fresh or canned crushed tomatoes, chopped
  • 60 mL (¼ cup) currants or raisins
  • 500 mL (2 cups) water
  • 5 sprigs of flat leaf parsley, roughly chopped with stems
  • Salt to taste
  • 15 mL (1 tbsp) ground cumin
  • 15 mL (1 tbsp) ground cardamom

Directions

1

Rinse whole mushrooms in cold water, dry well and cut in half-lengthwise.

2

In a tagine (or a large pan with a lid), heat 15 mL (1 tbsp) oil on medium-high heat. Add 250 mL (1 cup) of mushrooms and brown on both sides. Remove mushrooms from the tagine (or pan) and rest them in a bowl. Repeat with remaining mushrooms.

3

In the tagine (or pan), add remaining oil and cook onions and garlic for 2 minutes or until they begin to soften. Stir in Ras El Hanout and saffron and cook for one more minute. Add tomatoes, currants and reserved mushrooms.

4

Add water and reduce heat to medium–low. Simmer for 15 minutes or until thickened with the lid on.

5

Garnish with parsley and season with salt to taste.
