Chickpea & Vegetable Tagine
Lots of spices combine with lots of veggies for a great-tasting dish that is especially good served over quinoa or brown, red, or black rice. Common to North African cuisine, tagine refers both to the earthenware pot in which the food is cooked as well as the food itself.
