Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Prepare the vegetables

Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves.

2
Rinse and drain the chickpeas

Rinse the canned chickpeas under cold running water. Drain the chickpeas and set them aside.

3
Sauté the onion

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.

4
Add garlic and spices

Add the minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

5
Add harissa and tomato sauce

Stir in the harissa paste and tomato sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors have melded.

6
Add chickpeas and simmer

Add the drained chickpeas to the skillet. Stir to coat the chickpeas evenly with the sauce. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chickpeas are heated through and the sauce has thickened slightly.

7
Add lemon juice and adjust seasoning

Squeeze the juice of the lemon into the skillet. Stir to combine. Taste the harissa chickpeas and adjust the seasoning if needed.

8
Serve hot

Serve the harissa chickpeas hot, garnished with fresh cilantro or parsley if desired.
