土豆塔吉是摩洛哥最简单的家常塔吉之一，土豆与肉块或肉丸在番茄洋葱酱中同炖。土豆在摩洛哥是近代引入的作物，但已深深扎根于家常饮食，尤其在山区和冬季。这道菜是最「偷懒」的塔吉：土豆去皮切块，与肉和番茄同炖，三十五分钟即成。土豆吸饱番茄酱和肉汁，变得绵软入味，是整锅菜的精华。这道菜没有复杂的香料搭配，只用姜粉和红椒粉，保持简单。它是摩洛哥主妇忙碌日子里最先想到的那一道菜。
土豆绵软吸味，番茄酱酸甜，肉咸鲜。三种味道在土豆里汇合，每一块土豆都是一颗小炸弹。
土豆的淀粉在炖煮中释出增稠酱汁，使番茄酱变得更浓更挂。土豆块切大些更好，太小则煮散。番茄提供酸度平衡土豆的淀粉感。姜粉和红椒粉是摩洛哥基础香料组合，不用综合香料是为了保持简单。

Ingredients
Serves 4How it's made
5 steps · 10 min
- 18 min
Brown 500g lamb chunks or kefta in 2 tbsp oil; add 1 onion, 4 garlic, 1 tsp ginger, 1 tsp paprika, salt.
Watch outBrown the lamb well first — the seared bits are the flavour base the simple tomato sauce leans on; skip the colour and it tastes thin.
- 25 min
Add 3 chopped tomatoes, 4 diced potatoes, water to cover.
- 315 min
Simmer covered 30 min until potatoes are soft.
Watch outCut the potatoes big and simmer just until a knife slides in — small pieces cook to mush and cloud the sauce; you want them soft but whole.
- 45 min
Reduce sauce if thin.
- 52 min
Serve with bread.
