Add the squash and carrots and coat in spice and onion mixture cook, for ten minutes turning frequently.

Pour over stock, add apricots and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook over a low heat for 30 minutes until vegetables are tender.

Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.

• To make a meat version fry off chicken or lamb and add half vegetable stew after stock and apricots have been added, continue as above.

Left over tagine can be pureed with vegetable stock to make a spicy soup.
This is a good starter, that goes well with the tagine...

I love vegetarian food!
Are you wanting you all to eat the same menu?
Do you want spicy or not?
Any ingredients you want to avoid?
How many courses?

I have loads of recipes, just give me a clue what you fancy...Indian, Middle Eastern, European etc.......

Vegetable curry

Yes Squash is so delicious and seasonal.

We love tomato tart tatin, and it's so easy. You need puff pastry, cherry tomatoes, basil, live oil, honey (opt) sugar, salt and pepper, and a little cheese (also optional)

Roll out the puff pastry to fit whatever pan you are cooking it in (it needs to be big enough to tuck in all round). Put enough cherry tomatoes in the baking tin to cover the bottom of it. Season with the salt and pepper, and add a tiny bit of sugar. Sprinkle with a little honey and olive oil, and scatter the basil leaves on top. Cover with the puff pastry, making sure to tuck it in all round. Bake in a hot oven till the pastry is well risen, then invert a plate over it. Be very careful, as the juices will be hot. Turn the whole thing upside down, so that the pastry is on the bottom with tomatoes on top. Sprinkle the cheese on top and stick it under a hot grill till melted. Delicious - and none if us are vegetarians!
LyndaB _ Ive made something very similar and everybody wolfed it down here!
LyndaB, that sounds delish. I do a red onion and thyme tart tatin and it goes down a treat. :)
Ooh beetroot tarte tatin is fab....

Mushroom tart

Ingredients

500g mushrooms (I would go for portobello or chestnut)
100g soft butter
4 cloves of garlic, sliced
4 tablespoons of chopped parsley
350g defrosted puff pastry

Method

Preheat the oven to 220°C
Slice the mushrooms not too thickly
Mix the butter with the garlic
Fry the mushrooms in a pan with half the garlic butter
Stir in the parsley
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry into a rectangle
Place the pastry on a baking sheet
Using a knife, score a smaller rectangle 1 1/2 inches from the edge of the pastry
Fill the innermost rectangle with the mushroom mixture
Place in the oven and bake for 15minutes
Take out the oven and dot the remaining butter over the mushrooms and pastry rim
Put back in the oven for 5-7minutes until the pastry is golden
