Recipe Summary Vegetarian Moroccan Harira
Harira is a famous Moroccan soup, and here's a hearty vegetarian (and vegan!) version - packed with tomatoes and chickpeas and flavored with paprika, turmeric, saffron, ginger, and harissa. The amount of water can be adjusted depending on the thickness you want. I like this soup pretty thick and nourishing, so I do not add too much water.Ingredients | Vegetarian Pozole Recipe2 tablespoons vegetable oil1 large onion, chopped2 pounds tomatoes, diced1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped1 bunch fresh parsley, chopped20 fresh mint leaves, chopped1 teaspoon ground paprika1 teaspoon ground turmeric1 teaspoon ground ginger½ teaspoon harissa1 pinch saffron threads4 cups water, or more to taste1 tablespoon all-purpose flour1 teaspoon cornstarch½ cup cherry tomatoes, halvedsalt and ground black pepper to tasteDirectionsHeat oil in a large pot over medium heat and cook onion until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, chickpeas, cilantro, parsley, mint, paprika, turmeric, ginger, harissa, and saffron. Add water and cook over medium heat until flavors have combined, about 30 minutes.Mix a few tablespoons of soup liquid with flour and cornstarch in a small bowl and return to the soup, stirring in well. Add cherry tomatoes. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer over low heat until soup thickens, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.If you have time, peel your tomatoes. To do this, cut an X on the bottom of each, submerge in boiling water for 25 seconds, transfer to an ice water bath, then peel gently and dice.Info | Vegetarian Pozole Recipeprep:
