I'm sure this isn't remotely authentic, but it's easier to say tagine than 'vaguely Moroccan stew type thing'!

Ingredients (serves 4)
1 onion, chopped
4 carrots, peeled and chopped
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 tin chopped tomatoes
1 tin chickpeas
1/2 tin apricot halves
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cumin
1 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp lazy chilli
Salt and pepper to taste

* heat a little oil in a large pan and saute the onion, garlic and carrot for a couple of minutes
* add the tomatoes and spices and season to taste
* simmer for 25 minutes, then add the chickpeas and apricots and cook for another 10 minutes
* serve with couscous
