Chatty Chickpea Tagine

SERVES: portions

RECIPE TIME: 35–40 minutes

What you need:

  • 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 Cup Diced Onion
  • 1 Tbsp Minced Garlic
  • ¼ tsp Ground Ginger
  • 2 tsp Ground Cumin
  • 1½ tsp Ground Coriander
  • 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • ½ tsp Turmeric
  • 1½ Cup Diced Carrots
  • 3 Cup Diced Tomatoes, Drained
  • ½ Cup Tomato Sauce
  • 3 Cup Chickpeas
  • 1½ Cup Veggie Stock
  • ½ Cup Raisins
  • 2 Tbsp Lemon Juice

What to do:

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 5–6 min, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly golden.
  2. Stir in the garlic and ginger. Cook for 1–2 min until fragrant. Add the cumin, coriander, cinnamon, paprika, and turmeric. Stir for 30 seconds to toast the spices.
  3. Stir in the diced carrots and cook for 3–4 min to begin softening.
  4. Add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, chickpeas, vegetable broth, and raisins. Stir well and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25–30 min, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are tender and the flavors have melded.
  5. Stir in the lemon juice. Adjust consistency by simmering uncovered for 5 more min if you prefer a thicker stew.
