Butternut squash and chickpea tagine ✨

This dish is so simple and easy to make, which is packed with warm Moroccan flavours. The perfect winter dinner for this time of year. The moroccan spices, are so vibrant and create and explosion in your mouth.

This dish is gluten free, dairy free, meat free, but certainly not taste free!! The tagine is a slow cooked dish, that really makes itself. It has the perfect balance of sweet and savoury flavours, with the intensity of spices, making it so much more flavoursome than your average stew. With a handful of raisins which provides the subtle sweetness in this stew, combined with the healthy heart vegetables its an absolute winner.

The trick to this dish is allowing it to simmer for a long time to allow all the flavours to enhance! so simmer simmer simmer! I served this dish with some nutty brown rice, but you could also try quinoa or cous cous.

I made this on a day I had plenty of time, and it is tasty. However and this is a BIG however, the time estimates on the top of the recipe are a fantasy at 11 minutes. The squash alone takes about 20 minutes to roast. I can imagine someone thinking this recipe is a quick way to get a meal done when it is definitely not.
