Aromatic Chickpea Slaw with preserved lemon and olive

This Moroccan Slaw leans on preserved lemon and olive to do the heavy lifting. We slow-cook the Chickpea for real depth, then bring it together in one pan.

Aromatic Chickpea Slaw with preserved lemon and olive
Method

How to cook it

Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the preserved lemon and olive elements, and pat the chickpea dry so it colours well.

Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic until sweet and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add the chickpeas and slow-cook until it takes on colour and the edges catch, 4 to 6 minutes.

Stir in the harissa and the rest of the preserved lemon and olive flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.

Add the asparagus along with a splash of stock or water, then cover and cook gently until everything is tender and the sauce clings.

Tested in the Stewart & Musell kitchen. Timings assume a standard home oven and hob.
