Moroccan Chicken and Chickpea Stew
A North African-inspired soup full of goodness and warmth. We have used a tagine paste to make this soup. It's a great ingredient to have in the fridge when you are a little short of time. The apricots add a lovely sweetness that is representative of most North-African-inspired soups and stews,
Method
Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.
Step 1
Dice the carrots, celery and onion. Chop the garlic and the apricots and shred the chicken as per the instructions in the ingredients list.
Step 2
Place a large casserole pan onto a medium heat and add the oil. Once hot add the diced carrot, onion and celery along with a large pinch of salt and allow to cook for 10-12 minutes until soft and translucent.
Step 3
Now add the garlic, ground cumin, ground cinnamon, chopped apricots and the tagine paste and allow to cook for 2 minutes more. Pour in the tinned tomatoes, the drained chickpeas and the chicken stock. Bring to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes. Have a quick taste, you may need a pinch of sugar to balance out the tinned tomatoes a little.
Step 4
Add the shredded chicken meat into the soup and allow it to heat through. Season with a little squeeze lemon juice. Serve the stew with a spoonful of yoghurt and some picked coriander, if you like.
