Couscous would be the accompaniment of choice, but again, we had been gifted some freshly dug new potatoes, too good to miss!

Typical of a lot of North African recipes, this is a fruity and spicy dish with lots of onions, but not necessarily hot.

This recipe is for cooking on a hob in a Dutch oven or heavy based pan. We have a slow-cooker version of the same recipe here.

Unless you are using canned chick-peas, you will need to soak the chick peas overnight.

  3. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 1 hour.
  4. Add the remaining onions, dried fruit, smen or ghee together with half of the parsley and half of the red pepper slices.
  5. Cook gently for a further hour

Serve, scattered with the toasted almonds and the remaining parsley and red pepper slices. Accompany with the lemon wedges.
