Cooking steps
- Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
- Halve, peel and thinly slice the onion.
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas and lentils in a sieve.
- Roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all).
- Place a large pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once hot, fry the onion until softened, 4-5 mins.
- Add the ras-el-hanout, season with salt and cook for 1 min more.
NOTE: Adding chicken? Add to the hot pot and fry until cooked through, 8-10 mins, before adding the veg.
- Add the chopped tomatoes, cumin and tomato paste to the pot.
- Pour in 350ml water (per 2P) along with the stock.
- Stir everything together and bring to the boil.
- Add the drained lentils and chickpeas to the pot.
- Bring back to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer until slightly thickened, 12-15 mins.
- Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Once the stew has reduced, stir through the harissa paste.
- Season to taste with salt, pepper and sugar.
- When the stew is almost finished, pop the baguettes into the oven to warm through, 2-3 mins.
- Spoon the spiced lentil stew into bowls.
- Top with a sprinkling of coriander and a dollop of yoghurt.
- Tear off chunks of warm baguette for mopping up the stew.
