    This flavorful Moroccan Stew or “Tagine” is made with chickpeas, caramelized eggplant, and a fragrant Moroccan spice blend called Ras El Hanout. It’s luscious and hearty yet totally plant-based and vegan. It can be made ahead, as leftovers get even more flavorful as the flavors have time to meld.

    What is a tagine?

    A tagine can either refer to a traditional clay cooking vessel with a hooded lid, or a slow-cooked stew typically from Morocco and other North African countries like Algeria and Egypt.

    Can you make a tagine, without a tagine?

    Yes, you can make a tagine (a slow-cooked stew) without the clay vessel, using a dutch oven, or another ovenproof, lidded baking dish.

    A simple delicious Tagine Recipe with Eggplant and Chickpeas infused with Moroccan spices, served over cinnamon-scented couscous. This flavorful Eggplant Chickpea Stew is vegan and gluten-free.

    This vegan tagine recipe starts with cutting and salting the eggplant. Eggplant is so meaty and filling here, you really won’t miss the meat at all.

    Eggplant Tagine- cutting the eggplant.

    Cut the eggplant into large triangular wedges. Place in a bowl of salted water and place a lid over top to keep them submerged for 20 minutes.

    Salting the eggplant will not only help remove bitterness but will also prevent the eggplant from soaking up too much oil.

    soaking the eggplant

    Pat the eggplant dry.

    Working in batches, sear two sides of the eggplant until deeply golden.

    begin pan searing the eggplant.

    No need to cook the eggplant all the way through here as it will cook through in the oven. Set these aside.

    To the same pan, saute the onion, garlic, bell pepper, celery for the flavorful base of the stew.

    Season with Ras El Hanout. You can buy this flavorful Ras el Hanout, or make this version at home.

    Give a gentle stir, taste and adjust seasonings and salt to your liking. You want the stew generously seasoned as it will be served over couscous, mellowing out the flavors. Sometimes I’ll add a little more Ras El Hanout.

    ***Keep in mind, Ras El Hanout is a spice blend- so every version is different. Start conservatively and add more to taste.

    Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with fresh herbs and serve with couscous!

    Delicious, Healthy Tagine Recipe with Eggplant and Chickpeas- seasoned with Moroccan spices and served over couscous. A simple plant-based dinner recipe! #tagineOn the Homefront: We made it safe and sound to our Airbnb in the lovely little town of Encinitas. We brought our cat Bell, my sourdough starter (named Vita), and a flat of microgreens. All survived relatively unscathed.

    On the long drive down, I listened to a few podcasts that may resonate. Everyday Wellness Podcast #131 with Dr. Cate Shanahan, Found My Fitness Podcast with Dr. Jed Fahey on Sulforaphane (the inspiration for the microgreens post), and this interview with James Hollis on Insights at the Edge on “finding meaning vs. happiness”.

    The days are longer and warmer here and we’ve been hiking and biking and getting our feet in the sand. We watched the big red sun dip into the ocean last night, and felt the magnitude of that endless horizon, so open and spacious, like an invitation…

    Hope you enjoy this decadent, Moroccan Tagine with Eggplant and Chickpeas! It’s healthy, vegan, and bursting with Moroccan flavors.
