How to Make Aromatic Chickpea Tagine Tagine Bil Hummus

  1. If using dried chickpeas, cook them in boiling water until tender (approximately 1 hour). Drain and peel if desired. Skip this step if using 2 (15-ounce) cans of chickpeas, drained and rinsed.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large saucepan or tagine over medium heat.
  3. Add 1/2 teaspoon of saffron threads and 1 teaspoon each of ground cumin, coriander, and turmeric. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add 1 medium onion, finely chopped, and cook for 5 minutes until softened.
  5. Stir in 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 2 cups cooked chickpeas (from 2 cans or pre-cooked), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  6. Add 2 tablespoons of hummus (store-bought or homemade).
  7. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and flavors have melded.
  8. Garnish with extra cilantro and a drizzle of olive oil before serving. Serve with couscous or crusty bread for a complete meal.
