Recipe Details
This warming one-pot stew achieves the depth and comfort of a long-simmered meal in a fraction of the usual time. Chickpeas and spinach are braised in a robustly spiced tomato base, building layers of warm, complex flavor.
Ras el hanout—a fragrant Moroccan spice blend—imparts the dish’s characteristic aromatic depth, while gently toasted tomato paste amplifies its flavor profile. A splash of soy sauce adds an unexpected yet well-received umami boost, rounding out the dish with a richness that emulates the depth of a stew slow-bubbled for hours.
Served with a generous dollop of yogurt (or a squeeze of lemon) and a drizzle of harissa oil to balance the richness, it pairs perfectly with crusty bread or can be spooned over grains such as rice, barley, bulgur, or quinoa.
