  • 2 tsp. ground turmeric
  • 2 tsp. cumin seeds
  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a tagine (or a large sauté pan).  Add the onion and garlic, and saute until soft.
  • When the onion is soft, add the turmeric, cumin, cinnamon, cayenne, pepper, honey, and carrots.
  • Pour in enough water to cover the base of the tagine (about 1/2 inch) and cover with a lid. Cook gently for 10-16 minutes.
  • Add in the drained garbanzo beans, add more water to the base if needed, cover with the lid and cook on low (simmer) another 5-10 minutes. Season with salt; add cilantro, and serve with lemon wedges.
