FRIJE

Instructions

• 1.   Heat the olive oil in the bottom of a Dutch oven. Add the peeled and chopped onions.
• 2.   Cook them slowly over low heat for 15 minutes. If necessary, add a little water to prevent sticking.
• 3.   Preheat your oven to 350°F.
• 4.   Meanwhile, peel the zucchini and sweet potatoes. Leave a strip of skin on every other slice of zucchini.
• 5.   Cut them roughly (according to your taste... I prefer zucchini in not too thin slices and fairly large pieces of potatoes).
• 6.   The onions should have a caramel color.
• 7.   Then add the zucchini, sweet potatoes, and the raisins that have been soaked in tea.
• 8.   Season with spices according to your taste, whether sweet or savory... Personally, I add 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of coriander, a pinch of sweet paprika, and salt and pepper to taste. Tip: taste it! You can always adjust the seasoning at the end of cooking.
• 9.   Add a little water to the Dutch oven (not too much!), cover it with perforated aluminum foil to cook the dish in a tajine style (it's even better if you have one of those special tajine pans).
• 10.   Place it in the oven and let it simmer for at least 1 hour and 30 minutes.
• 11.   Serve hot, accompanied by couscous grains (which can be cooked with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon to add flavor - personally, at this point, I prefer the sweet-savory contrast, so I add salt to my grains - it's up to you!).
