Ingredient Notes
1 cup of canned chickpeas is versatile and can be replaced with lentils if desired. For the spice blend, use 2 tablespoons of Ras el Hanout, a Moroccan spice mix. For a hearty base, choose 1 pound of fresh tomatoes or canned crushed tomatoes. Finally, you’ll need 1/2 cup of plain yogurt for creaminess.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Stir in the tomatoes and Ras el Hanout, cooking for 5-7 minutes until everything is well combined and heated through.
- Reduce the heat and let the stew simmer for an additional 5 minutes to meld the flavors. Serve hot topped with a dollop of yogurt.
Things I’ve Learned
Always rinse canned chickpeas to reduce sodium. If using fresh tomatoes, opt for ripe, juicy ones for the best flavor. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days, and the stew can be reheated on the stovetop or in the microwave.
