Instructions
1. Gentle Sauté (Low–Medium Heat)
Preheat the Nutri-Stahl 1 QT on low heat. Add olive oil, then onion and garlic. Cook gently until softened and aromatic.
2. Bloom the Spices
Add cinnamon, paprika, cumin, ginger, and turmeric. Stir continuously for about 30 seconds to activate the spices.
3. Build the Tagine
Add chickpeas, apricots, tomatoes, and vegetable broth. Stir well to combine.
4. Covered Simmer
Cover with lid and reduce heat to low. Let simmer for 20–25 minutes. The Nutri-Stahl’s sealed environment will naturally thicken the sauce while preserving moisture.
5. Finish & Balance
Stir in honey and lemon juice. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
