15 minutes
Tajine with seafood is an exquisite dish of Pan-Asian cuisine that combines the freshness of seafood with the warmth of Eastern spices. The origins of tajine trace back to Maghreb traditions of slow cooking, adapted to the rich flavors of Asian cuisine. Tender seafood is paired with aromatic tomatoes, garlic, and red pepper to create a rich sauce. The addition of almonds and lemon juice gives the dish a light nutty note and refreshing acidity. Couscous infused with spice aromas becomes the perfect side dish, harmoniously complementing the main course. This culinary creation is ideal for a cozy dinner, allowing one to enjoy exotic flavors and the delicate texture of each ingredient.
