Sardine Tagine Cooking Steps:
Sardine Cleaning:
We scrape the sardine to eliminate the fine scales and we clean it with water. Then, to gut the sardine, which is a fragile fish, just cut the back of the head, pull gently and you will see that the guts come out almost on their own. After that, we clean sardines again and we let them drip off.
Fish Chermoula Preparation:
We put all the spices indicated in the ingredients in a bowl with the coriander, parsley, lemon juice, garlic cloves, and vegetable oil. Then, mix well sardines with chermoula and leave them for about 10 minutes so that sardines absorb very well the chermoula.
Placement of the elements in the tagine Pot:
We take the pot of tagine and place in order coriander sticks, carrots, potatoes, dried bay leaves, sardines, red peppers, green peppers, olives, and two slices of lemon.
We put the rest of the chermoula in pureed tomato and sprinkle all tagine elements from the top.
In the end, we put the tagine on medium heat for more or less 30 minutes.
Then, you add olive oil and you serve it hot with bread.
