Introduction
Tagine takes its name from the cone-lidded Moroccan clay pot in which vegetables and spices slow-cook in their own steam, letting the flavors meld layer by layer. This vegan version uses chickpeas, seasonal vegetables and a little dried apricot for a savory-sweet North African character, great with couscous or bread.
Wellness Benefits
- Chickpeas supply plant protein and iron to replenish energy and add fullness
- A mix of root and squash vegetables is high in fiber to aid digestion
- Ras el hanout, with cumin and turmeric, is gently warming and soothing to the stomach
- Dried apricots add iron, potassium and a natural sweetness to the stew
Nutrition Highlights
- One pot combines legumes and colorful vegetables for balanced, moderate-calorie nutrition
- Rich in beta-carotene and vitamin C for antioxidant support
- Slow cooking keeps the vegetables moist and flavorful with little added oil
Tips

- No tagine? Use a heavy, deep pot with a lid over low heat
- Swap apricots for raisins or prunes and adjust the sweetness to taste
