Spicy Moroccan Chickpea Stew

This spicy stew is a food treasure from my childhood – a pleasure I often enjoyed because my mother made it frequently. It is one of my comfort foods.

The preparation is simple – in fact, you can make the entire recipe in about 20 minutes if you have cooked chickpeas (or canned) on hand. The level of spiciness is adjustable. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper you use in the dish to temper or increase the heat. Make sure you have plenty of French-style bread available to soak up the juices.

Difficulty: simple
Yield:  makes about 6-8 servings
