A s،ful of vegetable tagine with chickpeas

For t،se w، have followed me for a while, you’ll know that I love to take inspiration for my dishes from all over the world, and today’s Vegetable Tagine with Chickpeas is inspired by the flavors of Morocco. A tagine (or tajine) is a stew-like dish from North Africa that typically has chicken or lamb, but my take keeps it both veget، and vegan by only using a hearty mix of vegetables. A great dish to make-ahead as it freezes great, it’s also a perfect way to use up any leftover veggies in the fridge or pantry.

Ingredients

  • Olive oil: A heart healthy oil used to cook the veggies.
  • Garlic: Adds nutty, pungent, aromatic flavor to the veggies and sauce.
  • Ginger: Slightly peppery, a little sweet, sometimes with a kick of ،iness, ، paste is a great alternative to fresh ،.
  • Onion: I use a white onion as it caramelizes quickly to add great, mild onion flavor to the tagine.
  • Warm ،es: Smoked paprika, ،in, turmeric, cinnamon, and cayenne give this tagine a warm, earthy, and peppery flavor.
  • Mixed vegetables: You can use whatever you have on hand, but I like to use some squash, like ،ernut or acorn squash, eggplant, zuc،i, bell peppers, ،atoes, or carrots.
  • Chicken bouillon: Mixed with some water and the tomatoes, it makes a strong, richly flavored sauce for the dish. You could also use vegetable bouillon if you follow a strict veget، diet.
  • Diced tomatoes: The tomatoes add some acidity and tang to the sauce.
  • Lemon: I love to use lemon zest for its strong, concentrated citrus flavor.
  • Chickpeas: A great source of protein with a mild, nutty taste.
