Instructions

Prep Time
1

Halve, peel and thinly slice the red onion. Drain and rinse the chickpeas in a colander. Roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all)

Start the Stew
2

Heat a splash of oil in a large saucepan on medium-high heat, add the onion and fry until soft, 4-5 mins. Add the ras-el-hanout, season with salt and cook for 1 further min.

Add the Stock
3

Add the chopped tomatoes, tomato puree, harissa paste, water (see ingredients for amount) and the vegetable stock paste. Stir together and bring to the boil.

Cook the Lentils
4

Add the red lentils and chickpeas to the soup. Bring back up to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer until the lentils are soft, 20-25 mins. Stir occasionally to stop them from sticking to the bottom of the pan. TIP: If the lentils need a little longer to cook, that's fine.

Toast the Ciabatta
5

Once the lentils are cooked, season to taste with salt and pepper. Meanwhile, preheat your grill to high. Cut the ciabatta in half, pop on a baking tray cut-side up, drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and and toast under your grill until golden, 3-4 mins.

Finish and Serve
6

Serve the spiced Moroccan soup in bowls with the coriander sprinkled over, a spoon of Greek yoghurt on top and the ciabatta on the side. Enjoy!
