Description

A rich and comforting one-pan dish made with tender chickpeas simmered in a smoky harissa sauce and finished with a touch of cream for a velvety texture.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons harissa paste
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add olive oil and sauté the chopped onion until soft and lightly golden, then add minced garlic and stir.
  3. Stir in harissa paste, smoked paprika, and cumin, cooking briefly to release aromas.
  4. Add chickpeas and mix well to coat them in the spice mixture.
  5. Pour in vegetable broth and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes until slightly thickened.
  6. Reduce heat and gently stir in the heavy cream until fully combined.
  7. Finish with chopped fresh parsley and serve warm.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of harissa to control spice level.
  • For a dairy-free option, use coconut milk instead of cream.
  • Let the dish sit for a few minutes before serving to thicken the sauce.
  • Add a splash of lemon juice for extra brightness.
