- 1 large onion (finely chopped)
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1-inch piece ginger
- 2 medium carrots (diced)
- 4 potatoes (diced)
- 1 green pepper (diced)
- 25 cherry tomatoes, or 2 large tomatoes (cut cherry tomatoes in half and cut large tomatoes in a dice)
- 2 teaspoon ground coriander

- ½ teaspoon turmeric
- 2 teaspoon dry thyme (can sub with 2 tablespoon fresh thyme)
- 2 ½ cups vegetable stock
- 2 tablespoon parsley (chopped)
- Lemon, green onions and cherry tomatoes for serving
- 2-4 tablespoons harissa paste
Instructions
- Soak the red chilies in water for about two hours. Drain and then toast on a hot, dry skillet until they start to darken. Add the garlic, cumin and coriander and toast until the seeds turn a couple of shades darker. Remove everything to a blender or food processor along with the vegetable stock and process into a fairly smooth paste. Set aside.
- Put the liner in the Instant Pot and set to saute. Add ¼ cup of vegetable stock and when it is hot, add the onions, garlic and ginger with some salt. Saute until the onions soften. Add a quarter cup more of water if they start to stick.
- Add the chickpeas, carrots, potatoes, tomatoes, coriander and cumin powders, thyme and turmeric into the Instant Pot. Stir to mix and add 2 cups of vegetable stock. Add salt to taste and mix it in.
- Place the lid on the Instant Pot and set to pressure cook at high for 10 minutes. After cooking is done, wait 10 minutes and release the pressure manually.
- Put the IP back on saute and stir in the harissa, a tablespoon at a time, until you reach the flavor and heat level you love.
- Serve the chickpea stew hot over rice with wedges of lemon, spring onions and cherry tomatoes for a healthy, vibrant meal.
