I first fell in love with Moroccan cuisine during a trip to a little café while exploring the streets of Marrakech.
The aromas of spices and vegetables simmering in a tagine were intoxicating.
This recipe is my tribute to that experience and a reminder that cooking can be a beautiful act of love.
Plus, it's packed with nourishing veggies that celebrate the bounty of the earth!

Recipe Variations

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this tagine in advance?
Absolutely! It tastes even better the next day as the flavors continue to develop. Just store it in the fridge, and reheat gently on the stove.
What if I don’t have a tagine?
No worries! A regular pot works just fine. Just keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn’t dry out.

Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
In a large pot or tagine, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until it's translucent.
- 2
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute, just until fragrant.
- 3
Add the sliced carrots and bell pepper to the pot. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the veggies begin to soften.
- 4
Next, add the zucchini, chickpeas, diced tomatoes (with their juices), vegetable broth, and raisins.
- 5
Now it’s time to sprinkle in the spices: cumin, cinnamon, turmeric, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Give everything a good stir to combine.
- 6
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 30 minutes. Stir occasionally, and if it looks too dry, add a splash of water or more broth.
- 7
Once the veggies are tender and the flavors have melded beautifully, remove from heat. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- 8
Serve warm, garnished with fresh cilantro. I love serving this with fluffy couscous or warm crusty bread.
