Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion diced
- 1 leek sliced
- 2 cloves garlic crushed or grated
- 1 teaspoon cumin ground
- 1 teaspoon Coriander ground
- ½ teaspoon chilli flakes (or as much as you like!)
- 750 g mixed root vegetables chopped into roughly 2cm / ¾inch chunks (I used potatoes, carrots and butternut squash)
- 1 red pepper chopped into 2cm / ¾inch chunks
- 2 x 400 g tins chopped tomatoes
- Juice of half a lemon
- salt and pepper to taste
- 400 g tin chickpeas drained
To Serve:
- Coriander leaves optional
- pumpkin seeds optional
- Wholewheat couscous (or regular couscous) optional
Instructions
- Drizzle about a tablespoon of olive oil into a wide, deep saucepan. Put the onion and leek in the saucepan and sweat on a low heat, with the lid on until soft but not brown – about 5 minutes.
- Add the crushed garlic, cumin, coriander and chilli flakes and cook on a low heat for one more minute, with the lid off.
- Add the mixed root veg and red pepper plus both tins of chopped tomatoes, the juice of half a lemon and some salt and pepper. Cook on a medium heat until the veg is nearly tender…about 15 minutes.
- Add a tin of chickpeas and cook for 5 more minutes. Serve with wholewheat couscous and sprinkle over some coriander leaves and pumpkin seeds
