Vegan Recipe:
Moroccan Chickpea Tagine

orange divide

This Moroccan chickpea tagine is not just vegetarian. It's a vegan recipe as well, one step further.

Don't hesitate about the recipe if you are not into vegan or vegetarian recipes.

One look at the ingredients will have you rushing to make this savory dish.

It is full of flavor with a wonderful mix of spices, a bit sweet from the apricots and raisins, with a bit of a kick from the hot pepper flakes. Nice combination.

It is also an extremely healthy recipe with fresh lemon juice, sweet potatoes and healthy chick peas.

If you don't want a vegetarian meal, use this recipe as a side dish. It would be great alongside chicken, beef or lamb.

This delightful recipe comes from a book called The Vegan Cook's Bible. It's a cookbook that is not just for vegans or vegetarians. If you want to add more healthy veggie recipes to your diet, you may want to have a look at it.
