chickpeas

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

Avocado oil has a higher smoke point and can be more affordable.

vegetable broth

🥗Healthier: homemade broth

💰Cheaper: water + seasoning

zucchini

🥗Healthier: yellow squash

💰Cheaper: cabbage

Cabbage is often less expensive and adds bulk.

Chop 1 red onion and 1 carrot into thin strips.

Heat a wide-bottom nonstick pan on high heat and add a couple of squirts of olive oil.

Add the chopped onion and carrot to the pan; season with a pinch of salt and sauté until softened.

Add 200 ml of vegetable stock to the pan and stir; cover with a lid and reduce heat to medium, cooking for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

In a bowl, combine 200 grams of flour, 150 ml of soy yogurt, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 3 tablespoons of sesame seeds, and a pinch of salt; mix to form a dough.

Knead the dough for about 5 to 6 minutes until it becomes smooth and holds its shape.

Chop the dough into 4 pieces and shape each piece into a round ball.

Roll each dough ball out thinly with a rolling pin.

In the same pan used for the tagine, add a few sprays of oil and some sesame seeds, then place the rolled flatbreads in the pan.

Cook the flatbreads at medium heat until they puff up and are golden brown on both sides.

Add spices to the pan with the vegetables: 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon ground coriander, 1 teaspoon cumin seeds, 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of black pepper; stir well.

Add 1 tin of drained chickpeas, 2 tablespoons of tamari, 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, 3 tablespoons of dried raisins, and 1 tin of chopped tomatoes to the pan; stir to combine.

Add another 200 ml of vegetable stock to the pan and cover again, cooking until the vegetables are tender.
