Ingredients

Serves 1

  • 1½ tsp olive oil
  • ½ red onion, peeled and diced
  • ½ red pepper, deseeded and diced

  • Small bunch coriander, leaves torn
  • Salt and black pepper
  • 40g yoghurt, such as Greek, natural or soya
  • 20g flaked almonds, toasted

Method

Heat the oil in a saucepan over a medium heat, add the onion, pepper and garlic and cook gently for 5 minutes until softened. Stir in the tomato purée and ras el hanout, fry for a minute then increase the heat and add the tomatoes. Cook for a couple of minutes then pour in the chickpeas with a splash of water and cook for a further 5 minutes. Stir in the coriander and season to taste.

Tip the chickpea stew into a warmed serving bowl, spoon the yoghurt over the top and scatter over the almonds.

  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground turmeric
