A hearty vegan Moroccan Carrot and Chickpea Stew that focuses on the sweetness of carrots and nutty chickpeas. Fragrant spices like paprika, cumin, and harissa make it a warming dish, or a perfect plant-based dinner that you can serve with couscous, bulgur, rice, or flatbread. A simple Moroccan spiced carrot stew made with just onion, carrot, canned tomatoes, some garlic and chickpeas.
A really easy, perfect and delicious weeknight option
I think this is a good recipe for a comfortable meal and at the same time a modest meal that is quick and easy to put on the table for dinner. Fastest and easiest to eat with freshly baked bread , straight from the oven. As you can see in the pictures, we had quickly cooked bulgur, which cooked parallel to the stew.
It’s a surprisingly good tasting stew that’s great to eat on those still crisp spring evenings, very nutritious and warming. It’s full of hearty and healthy veggies. Although the list of ingredients seems long, it doesn’t take that long to prepare since most of the ingredients are the warming spices. The vegetables, actually only the carrots, are peeled and cut into large pieces so that the preparation does not take long. The remaining ingredients such as chickpeas and tomatoes are prepared in the can. A perfect meal if you don’t want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen.
The rest of the ingredients are pretty simple like greens like arugula, kale, or even spinach. Of course, like most of my recipes, it’s also customizable and variable. That means you can play with the recipe depending on what you have in your fridge or what you’re craving.
