Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large tagine or a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Add the carrots, zucchini, potatoes, and eggplant to the pot, stirring to coat the vegetables in the oil.
Stir in the ground cumin, coriander, cinnamon, paprika, turmeric, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 2 minutes to bloom the spices.
Add the chopped tomatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes until they release their juices and soften.
Pour in the vegetable stock and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low, cover with the tagine lid (or pot lid), and cook for 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.
Add the drained chickpeas to the tagine and simmer for another 10 minutes to heat through and allow the flavors to meld.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and cilantro before serving.
Serve hot with warm flatbread or steamed couscous.
