This tagine is a deliciously spicy meal that is my go-to dinner for guests, because everyone loves it and it's vegan! I usually pair it with some cumin roasted cauliflower.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 2 onions, minced

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 teaspoons ground turmeric

  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 1 ½ teaspoons agave nectar

  • 2 tablespoons water, or as needed

  • 3 carrots, cut into 1/4-inch slices

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • 2 (14 ounce) cans chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed

  • 4 lemon wedges

  • 4 sprigs fresh cilantro, or as desired

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a tagine or Dutch oven over medium heat; cook and stir onions and garlic until softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Add turmeric, cumin, agave nectar, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and black pepper and stir until onion mixture is evenly coated. Add just enough water to cover the bottom of the tagine; add carrots and salt. Cook over medium-low for 12 minutes.

  2. Mix chickpeas into carrot mixture, adding more water if needed to cover the bottom but keeping the sauce thick. Cook mixture for 7 minutes.

  3. Serve tagine with lemon wedges and cilantro.
