Cooking Instructions
In a large casserole, heat the olive oil and add the onions over medium heat. Cover with a lid and leave the onions until they are soft and translucent, about 10 minutes.
Add the garlic, spices, salt, pepper, and 1 ½ cups of vegetable stock. Cover with a lid and let it simmer gently for 30 minutes to create a nice broth.
Meanwhile, remove the flesh from the preserved lemon and finely chop the skin, discarding the flesh.
Add the potatoes, artichoke bottoms, and preserved lemon to the casserole. Cover with a lid and cook for 20 to 25 minutes until both the artichokes and baby potatoes are tender. If the tagine appears too dry, add more vegetable stock.
Add the green peas and cover for 3 to 4 minutes or until the peas are cooked.
Serve warm with a side of couscous or crusty bread. Top with olives and fresh chopped coriander.
