    1. Spray a large heavy-based pot or cast-iron pan with oil and heat to medium. Fry onion, garlic and ginger for 5 minutes. Add harissa paste and cook for 2 minutes, until aromatic.
    2. Add next 10 ingredients – from tomato paste to cinnamon. Bring to the boil, reduce heat and simmer for 40 minutes.
    3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl combine yoghurt, dill, mint and lemon juice.
    4. Taste tagine and season with more harissa if needed. Serve topped with yoghurt mixture, with almonds and rice on the side.

    Variations

    You can use butter beans instead of chickpeas.

    Use 1 tablespoon dried dill if you don’t have fresh dill.

    If you can’t find harissa paste, mix harissa powder with a little water instead.

    Make it gluten free: Check harissa, stock and tomato paste are gluten free.

    Make it vegan: Use soy yoghurt instead and a vegan stock.
