Hi-

I bought my wife a tagine for Christmas,(cost plus world market) While off on vacation/juryduty, I decided to play with it.

My wife doesn't like curries so much so the challenge is to make meals either South western or traditional American flavored.

first time I used one, two lean center cut boneless pork chops, diced, with 1/2 onion, 1 clove elephant garlic, 1 roasted red pepper, a can of black Beans and a can of diced tomatoes.

no salt- to grinds on the pepper mill, a pinch of fresh dried oregano and a shake of ground cumin.

all in- 2 hours @ 350* in oven and done- tender and flavorful.

next up chicken stew-

a carrot, 1/2 onion, 3 cloves of garlic smashed, 3 red potatoes, diced, two breasts of chicken cut up, a bay leaf, 3 grinds on the pepper mill,a shake of celery seed, and a can of chicken stock.

all in- 2 hours- and again fantastic food!

I have been slowly getting back to real foods- 6 months out and some basic foods still bothered me-

I find this is a great way to make a tasty dinner, easy prep, and everything is tender...

the Tagine is 12 inches round, and makes enough for- four servings- so dinner for two and a lunch for two next day- .

HI,

Since I am only cooking for me, how much will I have left over? Or would this not be the ideal way to cook for an individual?

We had dinner one night (I didn't have that much) and then there was leftovers for him for lunch the next day. he said it was better leftover! It doesn't make as much as you would think. It's not that deep. definietley worth 19.99 at World Market!

Thank you. The closest one to me is in Ilinois. I would just like to go in and look around. I look forward to trying new recipes pre and post op.

They have them on their website too.

'

think 4-5 portions- depending on sides and or how your tummy is-

Tonight I ate more than my wife- usually she eats more than I, though I seem to eat 4 meals.

tonight I used canned chili beans- and mini chicken sausages from costco-

(chili dogs) nice high Protein count- took less than and hour- everything was pre cooked. except the salad we had before-

So it would be a few days worth. I like left overs...is that a no-no here...but after a few days I'm like okay I'm done with that. I suppose freezing would be an option too. Thanks Chef Neil

Hi Chef, Do you brown you meat first for any of your recipes?

RFC-

hi-

no-

I put it all in together.

Tonight I made chicken sate-

chicken, bellpepper, onion, garlic and cilantro.

3 tsp chicken sate sauce and a little water-

when finished, I stirred in a little peanutbutter to thicken sauce.

These recipes sound awesome. Keep them coming! Just ordered my tagine!

Tonight, in my Emile Henry tagine, I threw together:

boneless Pork chops

cubed butternut squash

apples

fresh garlic

cinnamon

curry

salt

pepper

was very tasty!!!

sounds good to me!

tonight I took an onion, 4 little sweet peppers, 3 stalks of celery, all diced and dry sauteed then added beef broth and red wine.

then I took a can of low sodium /fat-cream of celery Soup and added in pre cooked turkey meatballs. 1 .5 hours and it was divine!

did any if you season your Tagine prior to first use? some sites suggest it others don't.I got my Tagine today from World Market it is on sale for 14.99.

That's where I bought mine, but i didn't season it. i just washed in hot soapy water first like it said.

thanks SleeveDreamer, that's what I thought, warm soapy water it is. I shall try it out tomorrow

I'm jealous. I ordered one from World Market and the top part came in several pieces. They were at least very very good about refunding my payment quickly. I think that I might just see if I can do anything similar in my crock pot, though I know that it's not same.
