AN EASY SLOW COOKER RECIPE, PACKED WITH MOROCCAN FLAVORS

Is there anything in the food world more warming and comforting than stew?

This Moroccan chickpea stew recipe is packed with flavor – and is a powerhouse of veggies and spices. Celery, carrot, onion and garlic act as a base of aromatics, fortified by the tang of diced tomatoes. A chopped jalapeno (optional) delivers a decent amount of heat without sending things into overdrive.

But, in terms of flavor, the real stars of the show in this Moroccan recipe are the spices. Turmeric, paprika and cayenne add their fragrant, warming elements to this well rounded and easy stew recipe.

However, we can’t forget the most iconic ingredient in this smoky bean stew: chickpeas!

WHAT ARE CHICKPEAS?

Chickpeas are a legume, cultivated in the Middle East and Medeterranean – and well known by their other name: garbanzo beans.

They have a nutty, somewhat savory flavor – and a chewy, slightly grainy texture.

And, guess what… they make the best fortifying addition to this easy Moroccan spiced garbanzo bean stew recipe!
