Notes
- You could serve this with rice or couscous if you didn't want to dip bread in it.
- Whilst we have gone with Moroccan spices, you can use any you like. We often make a Mexican version of this chickpea stew.
- This freezes and reheats really well, but it does tend to get spicier when reheated.
- It's a great vegan recipe, but you can add some leftover chicken to it, or even crumble some feta on top.
- Add some crunch before serving with some flaked almonds or toasted pine nuts.
- If you want this to be more of a soup consistency, then add some more stock.
