Spiced Chickpea & Apricot Tagine with Toasted Almonds

A warm and fragrant tagine bursting with sweet apricots, earthy chickpeas, and aromatic spices. Topped with crunchy toasted almonds for extra texture and flavor.

Ingredients:

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1/2 cup dried apricots, roughly chopped
  • 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted

Instructions:

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic, cumin, turmeric, cinnamon, and cayenne (if using) and cook for 1 minute more.
  2. Add the apricots and chickpeas to the pot and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the apricots are tender.
  3. Stir in the cilantro and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Serve hot, topped with toasted almonds.
