Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: Moroccan
Ingredients: 2 tablespoons olive oil; 1 large onion, chopped; 3 cloves of garlic, minced; 1 teaspoon ground cumin; 1 teaspoon ground coriander; 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon; 1 teaspoon ground turmeric; 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger; 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste); 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks; 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed; 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes; 1 cup vegetable broth; 1/4 cup dried apricots, chopped; Salt and pepper to taste; Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish); Cooked couscous or rice (for serving)

Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground cinnamon, ground turmeric, ground ginger, and cayenne pepper to the pot. Stir well to combine and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the sweet potatoes, chickpeas, diced tomatoes (with their juices), vegetable broth, and chopped dried apricots to the pot. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Let the tagine simmer gently for about 25-30 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the sweet potatoes are cooked through and the flavors have melded together, taste and adjust seasoning as needed. If you prefer a thicker consistency, you can mash some of the sweet potatoes to thicken the sauce.
Serve the Vegetarian Moroccan Sweet Potato and Chickpea Tagine hot over cooked couscous or rice. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro for a burst of freshness and color.
