Instructions

In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the cumin, coriander, turmeric, and cayenne pepper. Toast the spices for about 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly.

Add the rinsed chickpeas, diced tomatoes (with their juice), vegetable broth, and minced preserved lemon rind to the saucepan. Stir to combine.

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. The chickpeas should be tender and the sauce slightly thickened.

Stir in the baby spinach and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted.

Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Remember that preserved lemon is salty, so taste before adding more salt.

To serve, ladle the tagine into a shallow bowl. Sprinkle generously with the toasted slivered almonds and chopped fresh parsley for a delightful crunch and fresh finish.
