Tunisian Vegetable Tagine

Fragrant vegetable stews are common around the Mediterranean. This streamlined version is flavored with a North African spice blend and simplified with the use of pre-cut, frozen bell peppers and onions.

Times

  • Prep Time : 15 min min
  • Ready Time : 15 min

Servings

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen bell pepper and onion mix
  • 1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds
  • 1/4 teaspoon caraway seeds
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon paprika, plus more for sprinkling
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 14-ounce can diced tomatoes
  • 1 8-ounce can chickpeas, rinsed
  • Freshly ground pepper to taste
  • 2 large eggs

Directions

Preparation

  1. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add pepper and onion mix; cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has evaporated, 3-5 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, coarsely grind coriander seeds, caraway seeds and salt in a spice grinder, dry blender or mortar and pestle. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in paprika and cayenne.
  3. Add garlic and the spice mixture to the skillet; cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add tomatoes and chickpeas; bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium and cook at a lively simmer until slightly thickened, 8-12 minutes. Season with pepper.
  4. Break eggs into separate halves of the pan, taking care not to break the yolks. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and cook until the eggs are set, 5-7 minutes. Sprinkle the eggs with paprika.
