Technique to learn

Spice-Tempered Stewing

Bloom ground spices and chili paste directly in warm cooking oil to unlock deep essential oil flavors before introducing wet ingredients.

Instructions

Step 1: Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat.
Step 2: Add diced yellow onion and sliced carrots, cooking for 6 minutes until vegetables begin to soften.
Stir in minced garlic, harissa paste, and ground cumin, sautéing for 1 minute until fragrant. Brab gently to avoid scorching garlic.

Step 4: Pour in diced tomatoes with their juices, drained chickpeas, and vegetable broth.

Step 5: Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and cover saucepan.

Step 6: Simmer stew for 15 to 20 minutes until carrots are completely tender and liquid has slightly thickened.

Step 7: Remove cover, season with salt to taste, and stir in fresh cilantro before serving warm.
