Cuisine: Moroccan
Ingredients: 2 tbsp olive oil; 1 large onion, finely chopped; 3 cloves garlic, minced; 1 tsp ground cumin; 1 tsp ground coriander; 1 tsp ground cinnamon; 1/2 tsp ground turmeric; 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper; 1 cup vegetable broth; 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed; 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes; 1/2 cup dried apricots, chopped; 1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted; Salt and pepper to taste; Fresh cilantro, for garnish; Cooked couscous or rice, for serving

Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a large tagine or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic, ground cumin, coriander, cinnamon, turmeric, and cayenne pepper to the pot. Stir well to combine and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the vegetable broth, chickpeas, diced tomatoes (with their juice), and chopped apricots. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the tagine simmer gently for about 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
While the tagine is simmering, toast the sliced almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden and fragrant. Keep an eye on them and stir frequently to prevent burning.
Once the tagine is ready, remove it from the heat and sprinkle with the toasted almonds. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves.
Serve the Vegetarian Moroccan Chickpea Tagine With Apricots hot over cooked couscous or rice.
