The tagine is synonymous with slow cooking and spicy and very tasty recipes. The one that Miguel, author of Pimientos Verdes , brings us today is a chickpea and vegetable tagine recipe . With the appropriate seasoning it is the tastiest, you'll see!

In my kitchen, the tagine has become an essential utensil. With it I get stews full of exotic aromas that transport me to other places through the palate.

In the Claudia&Julia store you have two different types of tagines : Emile Henry 's, which is ceramic, and Le Creuset 's, which has a cast iron base and a stoneware lid. Both are great options, but you should keep in mind that only Le Creuset can be used on an induction cooker.

Today I wanted to bring you a vegan tagine, spicy and with a lot of movement, just the way I like it. The spices, you can vary them at your whim and the point of spiciness is up to you . I like sugarcane dishes, so you can imagine that I have come up with a tagine that is not suitable for all audiences... but I already tell you that the point of spiciness is marked by you.

Grades

You can buy chickpeas already cooked or cook them yourself at home. To do this, you must soak them the day before with a teaspoon of baking soda. The next day, you discard the water and rinse them. You can cook them in a WMF pressure cooker for 12 minutes. They are at their point and you can make more than you need for this recipe and freeze the rest.
