Ingredients

  • 12 Fresh anchovies (Cleaned and filleted)
  • Garlic (For the chermoula; amount not stated)
  • Cumin (Amount not stated)
  • Paprika (Amount not stated)
  • Cilantro (Amount not stated)
  • Parsley (Amount not stated)
  • Tomato paste (For the chermoula; amount not stated)
  • Harissa (Amount not stated)
  • Lemon juice (Amount not stated)
  • Olive oil (For the chermoula; amount not stated)
  • Tomatoes (Used for the quick-cooked tomato sauce; the traditional version uses sliced tomatoes. Amount not stated)
  • Crusty bread (For serving; crispy garlic toasts were served in the MasterChef kitchen)

Steps

  1. 1

    Clean and fillet the fresh anchovies. The source describes preparing a dozen anchovies.

  2. 2

    Make the chermoula by blending garlic, cumin, paprika, cilantro, parsley, tomato paste, harissa, lemon juice, and olive oil into a marinade.

  3. 3

    Prepare a quick-cooked tomato sauce using tomatoes and the same chermoula spices. The source does not specify the cooking temperature or duration.

  4. 4

    Layer the rich tomato sauce at the bottom of the tagra.

  5. 5

    Dredge the cleaned, filleted anchovies in the chermoula and place them over the tomato sauce.

  6. 6

    Serve the anchovy tagra with crispy garlic toasts or any crusty bread.

Notes

The source does not provide the full recipe quantities, exact cooking temperature, sauce-cooking time, or detailed chermoula and tagra cooking instructions. Traditionally, the dish is served over sliced tomatoes; the creator used a quick-cooked tomato sauce for the MasterChef audition. Fresh anchovies are emphasized rather than salt-packed anchovies.
