Eat This: Root Vegetable Tagine at Olio

We are obsessed with the Root Vegetable Tagine at Olio. Turmeric-scented rice serves as the base for a plethora of root vegetables including rutabaga, parsnips, carrots and turnips. Their varied sweetness is complemented by coriander, cumin, ginger and the exotic flavors of cardamom and orange blossom. A handful of rehydrated cranberries provides a tart, fruity bite to this richly satisfying, aromatic vegetarian dish.
