Moroccan Chickpeas
A quick and vegetarian meal! It also makes an excellent crock pot recipe.
Ingredients
- 6 Tbsp olive oil
- 6 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 Tbsp cumin, whole
- 2 large onions, sliced
- 2 Tbsp paprika
- 1 tsp Tajine spices
- 4 Tbsp mild Turkish pepper paste or tomato paste
- 4 cups chickpeas with their cooking liquid
Method
-
1
Heat a pan on medium heat.

Pour oil and cook the cumin and garlic for a few seconds.
