Moroccan-Inspired Chickpea Tagine with Herby Bulgur Wheat and Lemon + Olive Salsa

This is a bit of a tagine FEAST. Queen Chickpeas simmer in a rich, spiced tomato sauce spiked with rose harissa, ras el hanout and a hint of cinnamon, and are served alongside a herby tabbouleh, a zingy olive + preserved lemon salsa, and creamy yogurt. It's a great one for feeding a group, or batch-cooking for the week.

Routebeschrijving

1

Heat two tablespoons of olive oil in a large, casserole pan over a medium-high heat. Add in the onion and carrot with a pinch of salt and cook for 10 minutes, stirring regularly, until softening, then add the garlic and cook for another minute.

2

Add the ras el hanout, paprika, cumin, cinnamon, lemon zest, honey and the harissa paste. Cook for 3 minutes, mixing well. Add a splash of water if it starts to catch.

3

Meanwhile, cook the bulghur wheat or cous cous according to packet instructions. Drain and leave to cool.

4

Pour the chickpeas and their bean stock into the pan, along with the veg stock and chopped tomatoes - swilling the can with a splash of water to get the most out of the tomatoes and tip that in too. Add the apricots/raisins, if using, Bring to a simmer and cook for 22-25 minutes for the flavours to mingle and the sauce to thicken and reduce slightly.

5

For the tabbouleh, add all of the ingredients to the cooked bulgur with a pinch of salt and mix well to combine. Check the taste - adding more seasoning or lemon juice to your liking.

6

For the salsa, put the almonds or seeds into a small dry frying pan over a medium heat and toast, tossing regularly for a couple of minutes until golden. Tip into a bowl and mix well with the chopped preserved lemon/or lemon zest, green olives, parsley and olive oil.

7

Divide the tabbouleh into bowls with portions of the tagine alongside. Scatter over the salsa, and finish with a dollop of yogurt, if you like.
