Savory Chickpea Tagine: A Flavorful Twist!

Step 1

In a tagine or Dutch oven, warm up some oil over a medium flame. Let the onions and garlic sizzle in the oil until they turn soft and fragrant, which usually takes about 5 to 10 minutes. Sprinkle in a medley of turmeric, cumin, agave nectar, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and black pepper. Stir everything together until the onions get a lovely coating of the spices. Pour in just enough water to gently kiss the bottom of the tagine, then toss in the carrots and a pinch of salt. Let this flavorful concoction simmer over a medium-low heat for a blissful 12 minutes.

Step 2

Introduce the chickpeas into the mix, ensuring they mingle well with the carrots. If things start looking a bit dry, don't hesitate to sprinkle more water, but remember to keep the sauce nice and thick. Allow the flavors to meld together for another 7 minutes of cooking time.

Step 3

When everything is perfectly cooked and bursting with flavors, serve your delightful tagine with lemon wedges and a generous sprinkle of fresh cilantro for a vibrant finish. Enjoy the aromatic feast you've created!
