What it is
A regional specialty from the coastal city of Safi, this is a seafood version of the slow-cooked Tanjia, traditionally prepared in an earthenware pot (tangia) and cooked in a hammam oven. It features a mix of fresh fish and seafood stewed with chermoula, preserved lemon, olives, and spices.
Key ingredients
Assorted firm white fish (e.g., cod, grouper), shrimp, calamari, olive oil, preserved lemons, green olives, garlic, parsley, cilantro, cumin, paprika, ginger, turmeric, saffron, lemon juice, water/fish broth.
Optional tweaks
None typically needed, as it is naturally low-carb. Ensure no potatoes or starchy thickeners are added.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in preserved lemons (check brine), over-generous use of onions, or starchy thickeners if a chef deviates from tradition.
