Moroccan Chickpea Tomato Stew
A warming chickpea stew with tomatoes, carrots, cumin, paprika, and herbs, cooked until thick and comforting.
Instructions
-
Heat olive oil in a heavy pot and cook onion until soft and lightly golden.
-
Add garlic, cumin, and paprika; stir briefly so the spices bloom without burning.
-
Add carrots and bell pepper, then cook until the vegetables begin to soften.
-
Stir in chickpeas, crushed tomatoes, broth, and salt.
-
Bring to a simmer, cover partly, and cook until carrots are tender and sauce thickens.
-
Mash a few chickpeas against the side of the pot to make the stew creamier.
-
Taste and adjust salt, then simmer uncovered if you want a thicker texture.
-
Finish with chopped herbs and serve warm with rice or bread.
Tips
Let the stew sit 10 minutes before serving so the chickpeas absorb the spices.
