Vegetable and Chickpea Tagine

What is it?

Vegetables and chickpeas sit in a Moroccan-style tomato sauce, with cumin, coriander, cinnamon, and ginger doing most of the seasoning work. Sold as a frozen vegan meal, it's ready to heat through from frozen or after defrosting. Compared with many other meals in the brand's range, this one stays plant-based and stew-like rather than leaning on pastry, rice, or pasta. Texture comes from chunks of vegetables and tender chickpeas, with the sauce carrying the main flavour. Warm spicing gives it a North African character that sets it apart from the curries and European-style stews in the same freezer section. Serve it over couscous or with flatbread to soak up the sauce, which has a thick, spoonable consistency.
