Steps
Read instructions and get ready to cook
Prepare the vegetables
Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
Rinse and drain the chickpeas
Rinse the canned chickpeas under cold running water. Drain the chickpeas and set them aside.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Serve hot
Serve the harissa chickpeas hot, garnished with fresh cilantro or parsley if desired.
