Instructions

Roast veggies
1
  • Cut half the eggplant (whole eggplant for 4 ppl) into 1-inch pieces. (TIP: Peel eggplant before cutting, if desired.)
  • Core, then cut pepper into 1-inch pieces.
  • Add peppers, eggplant and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.
  • Roast in the bottom of the oven, stirring halfway through, until veggies soften slightly, 10-12 min.
Cook pilaf
2
  • Meanwhile, heat a medium pot over medium heat.
  • While the pot heats, peel, then cut onion into 1/4-inch pieces.
  • Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
  • When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then half the onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened slightly, 1-2 min.
  • Add rice and half the garlic. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 30 sec. 
  • Add half the stock powder and 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water. Bring to a boil over high.
  • Once boiling, stir in raisins. Reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min. 
  • Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
Toast almonds and prep
3
  • Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
  • When hot, add almonds to the dry pan. Toast, stirring often, until golden, 3-4 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on almonds so they don't burn!)
  • Transfer to a plate.
  • While almonds toast, roughly chop parsley.
Start stew
4
  • Reheat the same pan over medium-high.
  • When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then remaining onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened slightly, 1-2 min.
  • Add Moroccan Spice Blend, tomato sauce base and remaining garlic. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 30 sec.
  • Add chickpeas and canning liquid.
  • Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, then bring to a simmer.
Finish stew
5
  • Once simmering, add roasted veggies, remaining stock powder and 3/4 cup (1 1/4 cups) water. Bring to a boil.
  • Once boiling, reduce heat to medium.
  • Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies and chickpeas are tender, 10-12 min.
  • Season with salt and pepper. (TIP: If your stew reduces too much, add 1/4 cup water at a time until you reach the desired consistency.)
Finish and serve
6
  • Add toasted almonds and half the parsley to the pot with pilaf, then fluff with a fork.
  • Divide pilaf between plates. Top with tagine-style stew. 
  • Sprinkle remaining parsley over top.
