Instructions
0 Soak the apricots in hot water and set aside. They will absorb the water and reconstitute while you are cooking the other ingredients. 1 Chop all of the veggies: onions, sweet potatoes, garlic, zucchini, etc. 2 Saute the onions and garlic in 2 tsp olive oil over medium heat. Let the onions cook until they have caramelized slightly. Add the rest of the ingredients: potatoes, zucchini, carrots (if using), tomatoes, chickpeas, and all of the spices. Add 4 oz veggie broth, stir to combine, and let all of the ingredients simmer on medium heat, covered, for at least 10 minutes until the potatoes and chickpeas are tender. 3 While the tagine is cooking, combine the quinoa and water in a pot, bring to a boil. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes until the quinoa is cooked. Fluff with a fork. 4 Take the apricots out of the water and chop them. Chop the mint as well. 5 Uncover the tagine and finish cooking through. Let some of the excess water boil off (if there is any). If it’s gotten dry, add a bit more vegetable broth until it’s the consistency you want. When it’s done, it will look like this: 6 Stir the apricots, mint and almonds into the quinoa, and serve.View original recipe
