INGREDIENTS FOR 4 PEOPLE
- 1 chopped onion
- 3-4 garlic cloves finely chopped
- 2 tsp ground turmeric
- 1-2 tsp cumin seeds
- 1 tsp of cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp of cayenne
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 3-4 tbsp EVOO
- 3-4 medium carrots
- 1 eggplant
- 1 zucchini
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 bunch of coriander
- 800 gr of cooked chickpeas
tsp = teaspoon. tbsp = tablespoon
PREPARATION
- Start by heating the tagine at medium-low heat.
- While it heats up, we start peeling and cutting the garlic, onion, and the rest of the chosen vegetables.
- Once the tagine is hot, we add a bit of olive oil and wait for 1 more minute until the olive oil heats up.
- Add the species (turmeric, cumin seeds, cinnamon, cayenne, black pepper) and toast them during 1 to 2 minutes until brownish.
- We then add the chopped onion and garlic. We cook it until it starts to soften while constantly stirring it to combine all the flavors.
- We can now add the rest of the vegetables. We cook it during 2-3 more minutes and then add a little bit of water or broth. Just enough without covering all the vegetables. We cover and let it slowly cook during 15-20 minutes.
- After this time, we add the chickpeas and a bit more of water if necessary. Cover again and let it cook for 10 more minutes until everything is well done and all the flavors combined.
- Season with salt and sprinkle with some chopped fresh coriander.
