Fragrant Chickpea Tagine & Grains

Boil half a kettle

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat

Once hot, add the Mediterranean veg mix with a pinch of salt and cook for 2-3 min until starting to soften

Meanwhile, drain and rinse the chickpeas

Add the 5 grain mix to a large, heatproof bowl and put the bowl in the microwave for 3-4 min or until piping hot

Once the veg has started to soften, add the ginger & garlic paste and ras el hanout and cook for 1 min until fragrant

Once fragrant, add the drained chickpeas and diced apricots and cook for 1 min further

Add the finely chopped tomatoes, vegetable stock mix and 100ml [200ml] boiled water and bring to the boil over a high heat

Cook for 2 min until the sauce has thickened – this is your chickpea tagine
