Critical Success Points

  • Sauté the aromatics without burning them
  • Brown the meat to retain its juices
  • Simmer the tajine long enough (≈50 min) to tenderize the meat and chickpeas
  • Coat the cauliflower twice to obtain a thick crust
  • Fry at 180 °C to prevent the fritters from absorbing too much oil

Safety Warnings

  • Be very careful with hot oil (180 °C) – wear kitchen gloves or use a long handle to avoid splatters
  • Do not leave frying unattended
  • Handle knives carefully when chopping aromatics
