In a large heavy pot or Dutch Oven, heat olive oil over medium heat until just shimmering. Add onions and increase heat to medium-high. Saute for 5 minutes, tossing regularly.

Add garlic and all the chopped veggies. Season with salt and spices. Toss to combine.

Cook for 5 to 7 minutes on medium-high heat, mixing regularly with a wooden spoon.

Add tomatoes, apricot and broth. Season again with just a small dash of salt.

Keep the heat on medium-high, and cook for 10 minutes. Then reduce heat, cover and simmer for another 20 to 25 minutes or until veggies are tender.

Stir in chickpeas and cook another 5 minutes on low heat.

Stir in lemon juice and fresh parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or harissa spice blend to your liking.

Transfer to serving bowls and top each with a generous drizzle of Private Reserve extra virgin olive oil. Serve hot with your favorite bread, couscous, or rice. Enjoy!

Delicious. I made it in my instant pot, so I think there was extra liquid that didn’t cook off, but it was yummy with couscous. Cooked on high for 3 minutes after sautéing the veggies. Didn’t have harissa so I used chili powder. Didn’t have apricots, so I used dates. Didn’t have sweet potato, but the dates made it sweet. Will absolutely make again, thank you! BTW, I found this searching with my browser. Every time I try to pin it, none of the pictures are available for some reason. I had to search thru Pinterest.

Hi Suzy, I just made this exactly as per the recipe. My friend, husband and I love it! Tomorrow my friend will take some to work for her lunch. I make lunch for her every weekday and love making your recipes.
Always a winner in my circle of friends. Thanks for sharing!

Hi there, it was delicious but I have a lot left over as it was quite filling. I was wondering if the tagine is able to be frozen? And if so, how long for? Many thanks :)

I made this last night and the flavor was so good, I didn't cut up the tomatoes so they took a long time to cook in the pot, almost an hour. Next time I will cut them up or use diced tomatoes. I don't normally like sweet with my savory but this meal exceeded expectations and was extremely delicious. Will definitely be making it again.

I made this with some modifications.  One diner has an allium allergy and another is allergic to cumin.  So I made three different versions of this to suit the three diners that enjoyed this, I used a cross between this recap and one I found by Liz Moody.  I couldn’t find white potatoes - go figure!- so I just used a large sweet potato and a home made harissa and a package of Tempeh cubed .  The directions by Liz, include InstantPot times which worked perfectly and allowed me to make three different versions in less than 1 hour.  A version that accommodated all three diners!  Thanks for a great recipe!

This was delicious! I didn't have enough potatoes on hand so I added some butternut squash to it. Since I didn't have your harissa spice blend I had another one that was very similar except it had hot pepper in it. When serving, I added dollops of fresh plain yogurt which was a perfect addition to the stew.

My mum is having heart issues. I have been cooking her Mediterranean food per the doctor. I randomly found your website and I have made soooo many of your dishes for her over the last month. This one has been her favorite :) thank you for the time, effort, and love you put into each of your recipes. They are easy to follow and have made a huge impact in our lives. Thank you!

Love this recipe!  I think it is even better the next day!

Just made it, absolutely love it! Bit spicy but that's harissa for you :)

This dish is delicious.  Both my husband and I loved it.  I will be making it again.  
It took me 1 hour and 35 minutes to prep and cook.  My peeling and chopping skills are not at a professional level. :-)

This is a great recipe! Made it pretty much as written with these changes- Used 1 tsp supermarket Harissa because wife doesn't like too spicy. Used 2 cans diced tomatoes because it seemed easier. Added 1/2 cup red lentils with the broth, tomatoes &amp; apricots because some of the comments said it sometimes came out thin. Red lentils are a great way to thicken soups and stews without changing the flavor too much. It came out as shown in the pictures. I also stirred it quite a bit near the end and it seemed like that helped it to thicken. I am wondering if the apricots help that by releasing pectin or other polysaccharides. 

Made this several times already so at this point I sort of wing it. I typically skip the sweet potato and add mushrooms, bell peppers, zucchini and yellow squash (any combo depending on what is on hand). I typically add a little more cinnamon and up the harissa (mine is from a local store and not very spicy). I also play around with the amount of broth and typically I add less than a quart (I like this stew to be thick), but the amount varies depending on the volume of all the vegetables, and I skip the olive oil drizzle at the end.

Solid choice for getting all your vegetables in, and the stew keeps and reheats extremely well for a week (just finished leftovers from exactly a week ago). Thank you, Suzy!

Thank you for this recipe.  I received a lovely tagine as a holiday gift, and have finally gotten brave enough to use it.  I wanted the chickpeas to cook with the vegetables and spices, so i added soaked, not cooked,  chickpeas.  Everything barely fit innthe pan, and  cooked together nicely.   I was unsure about adding lemon at the end, but it worked so well. This was a  Delicious dinner.

Oh my word. I have never had  Tagine before and now I think I’m in love….seriously delicious flavor combinations. Thank you, Suzy for sharing. Your creativity keeps me coming back for more!

Used a tagine dish and this recipe was far to large for it. It was okay flavor wise but portions are crazy next time I am cutting it in half

Love this even my children (11 +6) couldn’t get enough

This was so yummy! I didn’t feel the need to add rice or bread and just ate a large bowl which was very filling. This is definitely going into the dinner rotation!
