I’m a big fan of North African cuisine but maybe you wouldn’t have guessed it from all the Indian curries on my blog! They are my first love of course, but the spicy and sweet flavours of North African dishes are beautifully complex and fragrant and not to be missed.
So I thought it was about time I posted my squash & chickpea tagine recipe which is just bursting with lovely fresh & fragrant spices, sweet apricots, lots of veg and then topped with my super green and herby tahini dressing.
It’s super simple to make, that’s the beauty if one pot cooking. My tagine can be made more spicy if you wish by adding more chilli flakes. I really like adding a big squeeze of lemon or lime to make all the flavours sing.
I served my tagine with cauliflower rice but it’s great on its own, with rice, flatbreads or with a big crunchy slaw.
I hope you like my recipe; if you recreate it tag on instagram with #rebelrecipes @rebelrecipes for a chance to be featured. Love Niki x

Hi Niki
Fabulous tagine recipe, lovely deep flavours.
We made it with home grown uchiki kuri squash and served it with jewelled couscous and white bean humous.
We haven’t yet decided on our Christmas Day meal but will enjoy searching your website for inspiration.
Many thanks.
Amazing to hear that Richard!

This tagine sounds so comforting and delicious, Niki! I love the tahini dressing. Squash + tahini is my favorite combo!
Mine too!
Thanks so much Nisha xx
