North African Vegetable Tagine Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Tagine

   In a large pot or tagine, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

2. 2

   Stir in the minced garlic, diced carrot, zucchini, and bell pepper. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables soften.

3. 3

   Add the chickpeas, diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, cumin, cinnamon, coriander, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.

4. 4

   Reduce the heat, cover, and let it cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until vegetables are tender.

5. 5

   Prepare the Couscous

   While the tagine is simmering, prepare the couscous according to package instructions.

6. 6

   Usually, this involves bringing 1 cup of water to a boil, adding the couscous, covering, and removing from heat for about 5 minutes.

7. 7

   Serve

   Fluff the couscous with a fork and serve it topped with the vegetable tagine. Drizzle with chermoula sauce and garnish with crumbled feta cheese and a spoonful of apricot chutney.
