A warm, spiced, and vibrant journey that transports you straight to the bustling streets of Marrakech from the comfort of your kitchen. This Moroccan-Inspired Vegetable Tagine is my go-to when I crave something heartwarming yet bursting with flavors. It’s perfect for anyone looking to bring a piece of the exotic into their meal routine, regardless of their cooking skill.
- 1 tbsp olive oil,
- 1 large onion, finely chopped,
- 2 garlic cloves, minced,
- 1 tsp ground cumin,
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon,
- 1 tsp ground ginger,
- 1/2 tsp ground turmeric,
- 400g can of chickpeas, drained,
- 400g can of diced tomatoes,

- 1 bell pepper, chopped,
- 200ml vegetable stock,
- Handful of dried apricots, chopped,
- Salt and pepper to taste,

Start by chopping and preparing all your vegetables and gathering your spices. This will make the cooking process smoother and more enjoyable.
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, cooking until soft and fragrant. Stir in the cumin, cinnamon, ginger, and turmeric, and cook for another minute.
Add the chickpeas, diced tomatoes, sweet potato, carrots, zucchini, bell pepper, vegetable stock, and dried apricots to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, for about 30 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
Once the vegetables are tender, season the tagine with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro, alongside some fluffy couscous.
