Ingredients
Method
1Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
2Stir in garlic and ginger; cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add harissa paste, cumin, coriander, and smoked paprika. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes to toast the spices.
3Add diced tomatoes, chickpeas, dates, vegetable broth, and red bell pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 20-25 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.
4Stir in fresh spinach until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
5Squeeze in lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste.
6Serve hot over cooked couscous or rice, garnished generously with fresh cilantro.
